I've added wget to the %base-networking-packages list, which means it'll
be part of any Guix System starting with v1.3.0.
For git-minimal, after discussing it on IRC, it seems reasonable to
expect savvy users to be able to 'guix install git' from the
installation environment.
Closing.
Thanks for the suggestion!
