can not load package (github.com/grafana/grafana)

Is there anything I can do here:

I think it's related to #135

The https://github.com/grafana/grafana repository is huge! Takes a long time to git clone, and takes up about 1 GB.

Perhaps modifying the code to use

git clone -b v10.4.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/grafana/grafana.git

or

git fetch --depth 1 origin tag v10.4.1

may be helpful.

May be a solution to for Bug#871983
