A CACHEDIR.TAG file indicates that the contents can be automatically re-generated. This is not really true for Nix store paths. (Well _Nix_ can recreate them, but that's different.) I noticed this issue as I was restoring full system backup that "for some reason" always missed /nix/store/*-fc-cache (found by `nix-store --verify --repair`). Turns out I was excluding caches from my backup... (cherry picked from commit 8ea7a30)
