I realise that the more diverged the branches are, the fewer exact cache
hits you will get, but there still should be a lot of overlap here.
However, if you're building the branches in different directories and
using absolute paths then you might be missing out on potential cache
sharing (without any binary differences).
Are you familiar with CCACHE_BASEDIR?
