When working on speeding up the CI,
I triggered a race condition in the creation of the tarball cache. This code now instead will ensure that half-initialized repositories are no longer visible to any other nix process.
This is the error message that I got before:
error: opening Git repository '"/Users/runner/.cache/nix/tarball-cache"': could not find repository at '/Users/runner/.cache/nix/tarball-cache'
