Details

Hi, would it be possible to put a section in the user guide about caching ?

Here is what I'd like to see, at least:

mention of the --reuse flag, and how it works. I assume it saves the layers created between steps ? But I have no idea how this cache is invalidated (if I modify a step, does it re-run it ? What if I modify a file that the step reads ?), how to invalidate it manually, and where it is stored. Also, --rm seems to be the oppose of --reuse, so what is the default behavior ?
mention that you (apparently ?) don't support the caching server that actions/cache expects, and that these steps should be removed/disabled before running act

Thanks !
