About cloning, the core of the issue is not Guile but libgit2. Guix relies on guile-git which is just libgit2. And sadly, libgit2 does not support shallow clone or depth fetch option. See libgit2 issue#3058. If I read correctly, Go relies on plain Git, instead. Therefore, sadly we cannot do better than full Git repository clone. It would be difficult switch from libgit2 to plain Git; as discussed in this thread [2]. 1: <https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3058> 2: <https://yhetil.org/guix/87cz9fpw4x....@gmail.com> Cheers, simon
