Fails on tar exit code 1 on ubuntu-latest

See original GitHub issue

I need to share around a small but heavily processed repository to multiple jobs,

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
      - name: Cache Repository
        uses: actions/cache@v2
        with:
          path: |
            ~/
            !~/.git/

Fails with

Post job cleanup.
/usr/bin/tar --posix --use-compress-program zstd -T0 -cf cache.tzst -P -C /home/runner/work/xxx/xxx--files-from manifest.txt
/usr/bin/tar: ../../../work/_temp/6483fbb9-3579-4fb0-a582-3316b336d5a9/cache.tzst: file changed as we read it
Warning: Tar failed with error: The process '/usr/bin/tar' failed with exit code 1

I can confirm that moving to @v3 fixes this particular issue for me.

I’m having a different problem now where it can’t find the cache (after successfully saving), but the fact that you can’t list what caches are present it making debugging more than a little difficult. I’ll open an issue if I can ever get my hands around it.

I am hoping the problem is resolved for all now. Hence closing the issue.
