as seen in #40, using ${{ hashFiles('action.yml') }} as part of the key is not reliable as the file being hashed as very unlikely to appear in other repositories and causes caches to always miss.

One further issue may be that the cache directory is used for a number of locks and marker files that we may not want to cache. I think in the end you only want to keep the actual data files in the hash directories ./00/ ... ./ff and maybe the ./cachedb file.
I'll test a few configurations to see what works best.
