> For locally executed builds, the build caching can really help avoid re-running tasks with inputs that haven't changed since the last time they were executed. This can save a lot of time when working locally. You'll observe a noticeable performance gain when running clean builds. Additionally, tests aren't executed anymore if all you do is make a commit that changes something not directly related to the tests themselves, like build logic (although if you change the test tasks, then they'll of course re-run). Does the `clean` task delete the local caches or not? If not, how would one force cache deletion in case of a bug? It would be good to update the `Readme.md` with this info. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
