Description
### Comment:
On Alpine, installing Git and its dependencies increases disk usage by 9.484 MB:
```bash
$ docker run --rm -it --user root mambaorg/micromamba:1.4.4-alpine@sha256:7bc1b7179496b7f10596ba8fce7ffd8d323566890b9f515bf1c3dd2cca1c627e \
sh -c 'du -d0 / && apk add --no-cache git && du -d0 /'
30580 /
...
40064 /
```
Installing Git through conda-forge increases disk usage by 296.4MB:
```bash
$ docker run --rm -it --user root mambaorg/micromamba:1.4.4-alpine@sha256:7bc1b7179496b7f10596ba8fce7ffd8d323566890b9f515bf1c3dd2cca1c627e \
sh -c 'du -d0 / && micromamba install --yes --name=base --channel=conda-forge git && micromamba clean --all --yes && du -d0 /'
30580 /
...
326980 /
```
I am wondering if, for example, Perl is nowadays still as necessary as it once was.
