From this point on, Straight will download packages from tarballs (if
possible) from their associated forge rather than clone them as git
repositories. This is (marginally) faster and consumes significantly
less space. Doom treats its packages as build artifacts anyway.
This shouldn't cause any immediate breakage, but it may upset folks who
want their local package installs to be repositories. For them, this can
be reversed by simply adding this to $DOOMDIR/init.el:
(after! doom-straight
(setq straight-vc-use-snapshot-installation nil))
This only applies to packages installed after this point. Packages that
are already cloned as a repo will stay that way until the next time
they're uninstalled or reinstalled from scratch. Plus it only works on
systems that have `tar` in their $PATH *and* forges that are
supported (at the time of writing: github, gitlab, codeberg, bitbucket,
and sourcehut).

cli/gc.el accidentally snuck into 5e84709, along with a particular
v3-isms that doesn't belong in Doom yet, such as autoloads in CLI libs
and them providing subfeatures of doom-cli, rather than doom-cli-*.
These have been reversed for now.
