Honestly, I think our Go importer needs to be rewritten to just use Go's
libraries instead of trying to replicate all functionality in Guile. It
does a lot of... let's say sub-optimal things currently, like cloning
full git repos, when Go is smart enough to only clone what it needs for
dependency resolution.
