action #154156

## Motivation As part of #138029 support for git caching was included in os-autoinst covering test distributions as well as wheel repository. We can now look into caching test distributions from git fully enabled on a production openQA instance. instance but also considering the worker cache service, e.g. circumvent the worker cache service or actually make use of it. ## Acceptance criteria * **AC1:** At least one test distribution on openqa.opensuse.org uses git caching successfully * **AC2:** There is no redundant syncing in the worker cache service, e.g. no cloning from github but the worker cache syncs test data that is never used ## Suggestions * Read about `GIT_CACHE_DIR` in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/doc/backend_vars.asciidoc and experiment with that in an openQA environment * Experiment how the git cache dir will be populated for multiple openQA jobs running in the same environment * Try out multiple openQA jobs running in parallel relying on access to GIT_CACHE_DIR * Possibly use it directly on o3 and monitor the impact * Consider the impact on or off the worker cache service, e.g. take a look into logs of affected openQA jobs and see how caching and git caching interact or not interact ## Out of scope * Manage storage capacity long-term / clean-up service * Considering how the worker cache service interacts
