We're currently working on the "true" repository cache: #12227 This is not exactly what you're asking for, but I imagine it would solve the issue nonetheless? |

…59879) Does what it says on the tin Caveat: As this doesn't use the built-in downloaders, this probably cant make use of the repository cache. While it won't refetch it every single time (there is _some_ degree of caching), I'm not sure what will cause it to not use the cached one and refresh it. Its a very fast operation though. See bazelbuild/bazel#19267 ## Test plan `bazel build //internal/database/migration/shared:generate_stitched_migration_graph`
