The package is one of the dependencies for one of the dependencies of
gitea.  That said, Upon double-checking that package¹² it doesn't seem
that it actually needs it directly, and when I comment out the package
go-github-com-go-git-go-billy-v5 builds just fine, and so does my copy
of gitea. Looks like this package isn't needed after all.
