Every definition cloned the same repository, 18 times for a pre-merge job, each leaving a .git in the overlay. Render "from: url" against the GitHub archive url instead, so they share one cached fetch. The url has to name a commit: a branch moves and a tag can be recreated, and the cache would keep serving whichever one it saw first. Resolve the revision with git ls-remote before rendering, and record in the job what it resolved to. Repositories not on github.com, and revisions that cannot be resolved, keep using git.
