Description

I used files-changed.yml to output git's file changes, and subsequently discovered that runner was caching duplicate repositories.

files-changed.yml

name: files-changed

on:
  workflow_call:
    outputs:
      exam:
        value: ${{ jobs.detect.outputs.exam }}
      user:
        value: ${{ jobs.detect.outputs.user }}
      gateway:
        value: ${{ jobs.detect.outputs.gateway }}

jobs:
  detect:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      gateway: ${{ steps.changes.outputs.gateway }}
      exam: ${{ steps.changes.outputs.exam }}
      user: ${{ steps.changes.outputs.user }}
    steps:
      - uses: https://github.com/actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: https://github.com/dorny/paths-filter@v2
        id: changes
        with:
          base: ${{ gitea.ref }}
          filters: |

Thanks for reporting! Could you please move this issue to https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner/issues ? I'm pretty sure it should be a bug of act_runner, not Gitea.
