[ci] make the documentation build immune to the git-maintenance race - #1139
Merged
Conversation
`opam init` intermittently failed in the documentation workflow with
Could not update repository "default": lstat failed on
.git/objects/maintenance.lock: No such file or directory
Since git 2.46, fetch and clone spawn a detached `git maintenance run
--auto` job that races with opam scanning the repository it has just
cloned (ocaml/opam#7031). The opam-side fix (ocaml/opam#7073) only ships
in 2.6.0, still a release candidate, and does not cover the path pin on
the checkout.
Disable git background maintenance on the runner, and fetch the opam
repository over HTTP instead of git, which removes the clone the
maintenance job operates on. Also drop the deprecated `dune-cache`
input, superseded by `cache`.
