Option for caching a clone of the project or flag to set if no clone of the project is required.

Not all status checks might need a clone of the project, if you just checking something on the payload of the PR then it would be nice for it not have to clone the whole project. If you do have to clone the project then cache it for 30mins or something to speed it up next time?

Yeah an interesting point.

At the moment the project clones and after all tasks are done it removes the project from disk.

Yeah think you are right, be nice to have the project on disk and remove after a certain time period.

Thoughts on it:

1. PR comes in and a check is made to see if the project folder already exists (project folder is already the sha of the commit)
2. If Yes, then happy days, If no then create it

Maybe every event that comes in (PR) can also loop over these folders and make sure they have not expired some kind of cache (could get the time the folder was created, and if its > than 6 hours for example remove the folders?)
