This line gets the name of the directory in which (current-filename),
i.e. /path/to/mes/guix.scm lies.
> (define %source-dir (dirname (current-filename)))
This adds /path/to/mes/guix to the Guile load path.
> (add-to-load-path (string-append %source-dir "/guix"))
This loads git/mes.scm from the load path (see above) and makes its
public bindings available.

This is just a variable, probably exported by the (git mes) module,
which should itself be a (package ...) description.
