Port v6 cleanup to v5 #2301

ericsciple · 2025-11-12T05:29:49Z

Auth configuration changed in actions/checkout@v6-beta. This PR ports the cleanup for v6-style configuration to v5.

Otherwise, actions/checkout@v5 will fail if the same repo is already checked out by actions/checkout@v6-beta, in the same job, to the same path. Although this scenario is likely very uncommon, I want to reduce friction for users to move to v6.

For quick mitigation if something goes wrong, ACTIONS_CHECKOUT_SKIP_V6_CLEANUP can be set to 1 or true to skip the new cleanup logic.
