Description
As seen in previous issues, we need cache to support merge queues.
We currently use integration tests on merge queues that need to pull 1Gb of data from Git LFS, and it seems that there is no way to use the existing cache on merge queues because it uses temporary branches gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-2136-3158e388aa0dbf84035c7acb0cf9f0fecc44e0a5
Cache not retrieved:
We cannot put these data in external storage as well because github runners are hosted in the US.
This leads us to pay data packs which are very expensive (5$ for 50Gb bandwith)
Happy to hear if anyone has a solution for this.
