We're experiencing spurious failures trying to checkout repositories on GitHub Actions:

Contacted GitHub Support on this, I see no way for us to mitigate the problem on our end.

ci: bump actions/checkout to version 2

This was recommended by GitHub Support to try reducing the things that
could've caused rust-lang#78743. I checked the changelog and there should be no
practical impact for us (we already set an explicit fetch-depth).

Another failure: https://github.com/rust-lang-ci/rust/runs/1354742853 (added it to the top comment too).

Enabled debug logging on rust-lang-ci/rust and opened #78754 as recommended by GitHub Support. Once another build fails we'll probably be able to drill down more into the cause. There is also another report of the same issue available at actions/checkout#376.

Following on from your comment in actions/checkout#376 (comment) the worst part about this is that it's impossible to repro this

Since we didn't see any new error since the last comment, and because debug logging is noisy, I'm disabling debug logging. If the error happens again, someone on the infra team will need to set the ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG and ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG secrets to true in the rust-lang-ci/rust repository.

We haven't seen this in a while, closing the issue.

@pietroalbini Pretty much the same; we haven't seen this happen lately either
