GH Actions mounts docker volumes and executes the jobs from
them. For some reason it doesn't clean these volumes
automatically after each run. We assume that each run happens
on a clean workspace and hence there are weird consequences
when this assumption is broken.
One of them, for example, is failure to publish documentation
to GH Pages website. To publish such a documentation, we first
add the website remote to the Dotty github repo. If the remote
already exists, which is the case on a dirty workspace,
we get an error.
This PR should fix the failure to publish docs: https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/runs/518302696?check_suite_focus=true
