From v12a-0003 commit message:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

Also, 'not saving the cache if it is an exact hit' is a nice improvement too.

I think these are all great improvements. I looked at the 0003 and LGTM.
