[offtopic] GitHub CI webpage caching is horrible...

[Junio C Hamano]

I usually keep the URL

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/workflows/main.yml?query=event%3Apush+actor%3Agitster

open in one of my browser tabs, but this request interacts badly
with the web cache they use.  Depending on the phase of the moon, I
get a stale cached page whose latest entry is from early August!

As a workaround, I could append '&nonce=$random_number' to the end
of the URL, but I should not have to do that.

Grumble...

It might be worth putting a word here:

With Taylor moving on from GitHub, I'm not quite sure who if this would 
relayed to GitHub by someone. So, the GitHub support page is a better 
place to complain so that they'll hopefully fix it some day :-)
