*Description*

&gt; The standard proposes that if a particular file named CACHEDIR.TAG is present in a directory, the contents of that directory and all its subdirectories need not be archived.
&gt; The first 43 bytes of a CACHEDIR.TAG file are the ASCII string "Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55". Any following bytes are insignificant.<https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/8896#user-content-fn-1-e1052e57394b090362cf88c9c43a69f4|1>
