I guess documentation / behavior is not what is actually happening
| Omitting rarely used configurations keeps the repository cache smaller and | ||

IMHO automatic mode also skips repository cache downloads, when the MODULE.bazel.lock has changed. This is not a delta, but instead a full download.
I guess we need to be able to skip restoration of each cache individually.
The job which rebuilds the repository cache must skip the repository cache. All other jobs must skip the disk cache.
