Yarn cache bug

[luwes]

Gitpkg is affected by the same bug reported here by me.
yarnpkg/yarn#6256

The root issue is that a git pull on the cached repo will not pull in the standalone tags (not reachable from the heads).

Hello! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes I have seen this issue on some builds at my current company. It seems like a cache bug in yarn related to the git private deps. Last time I failed to create an isolated repro.

As a workaround:

yarn cache clean

or

yarn cache clean <dep name>
