The @command{pre-inst-env} script sets up all the environment variables
necessary to support this, including @env{PATH} and @env{GUILE_LOAD_PATH}.
+Note that @command{./pre-inst-env guix pull} does @emph{not} upgrade the
+local source tree; it simply updates the @file{~/.config/guix/latest}
+symlink (@pxref{Invoking guix pull}). Run @command{git pull} instead if
