Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Cache git repo, draft references in Circle (#3009)

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

That's great for now, while there are relatively few new commits to add and the references are fresh.  However, we are creating caches for things that won't ever be used again (``{{ .Revision }}` and `{{ epoch }}`), which takes time that doesn't pay back.

More seriously, the `{{ .Branch }}` thing is a one-time event.  We will always be picking up the cache that you create the first time `master` uses this build.  And the references cache will be old in less than a week now, but that is the cache that will be used in perpetuity.  Sure, this is good in the sense that the build will survive networking blips (assuming that we don't add more citations), but those references will be ancient.
