Description

Hi. Currently I've a couple of packages that live in mono-repos: flymake (in the emacs repo) and the commercial-emacs variant gnus.
These clone the whole repository and subsequently clutter the fetch process with all changes to the repo. Do you have any tips on avoiding this? I see there's some internal mono-repo handling in elpaca.el but it's over my head, I don't understand what it does.

This is the recipe I'm using for flymake (it's the one on the GNU-Devel menu):

( :package "flymake"
	   :repo "https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs"
	   :local-repo "flymake"
	   :branch "master"
	   :files ("lisp/progmodes/flymake.el"
		   (:exclude ".git"))
	   :source "GNU-devel ELPA")

[progfolio]

What is the output of M-x elpaca-info for those packages?
You may also be interested in something like the build step mentioned here:

Hmm, maybe something like this is possible: https://github.blog/2020-01-17-bring-your-monorepo-down-to-size-with-sparse-checkout/#cloning-in-sparse-mode
