webgme-rust-components dependency causes downstream pain

[nawgz]

See: https://github.com/webgme/webgme-engine/blob/master/package.json#L89

I have a private package & container registry, so I am writing my own Dockerfile. It looks something like this:

FROM registry.gitlab.example.com/base-images/yarn-builder:latest AS builder

RUN /opt/init-scripts/authenticateYarn.sh

WORKDIR /usr/app
COPY package.json .
RUN yarn install

Because I don't use your Docker image, I then get this error message:

[1/4] Resolving packages...
error Couldn't find the binary git

If you use npm instead the error message is:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git

I see in my yarn.lock file that the resolution has occurred like this:

webgme-rust-components@webgme/webgme-rust-components:
  version "0.1.0"
  resolved "https://codeload.github.com/webgme/webgme-rust-components/tar.gz/ad446234b6c02fd722e7e454015857ee523fb172"

Please set this as a devDependency, peerDependency, or simply make it a proper NPM package. I do not need these components, and I do not wish to put the git binary unnecessarily in my containers.

This would be what I'd call "bottom of the basement" in terms of priority, I can of course fix this issue with apk add git. It'd be great to not have another dependency beyond yarn is all.

Can you simply install it and then remove it in a later step (after setting up webgme-rust-components)?
