Developers are users too and users can be developers. Furthermore,
Elixir is an implementation of a programming language, so aren't all
users of Elixir automatically developers?
I'm not sure how exactly Elixir integrates with git but I assume the
integration can be very useful.
Also, this does not change the behaviour of the language, it only
adjusts a detail of the implementation: the error message for
indicating that git is missing is adjusted.

How could better error messages breed confusion?
Also, this seems a change that would absolutely _not_ be considered
upstream. Why would upstream have distro-specific error messages? If
the new error message is Guix-specific, wouldn't Guix be the logical
place to have it?
Greetings,
Maxime.
