We can't do reliable skipping if we can't get a reliable range of changes and cirlcleCI is all over
e.g. in this PR #8918 it changed
pipeline.git.base_revisionon every commit resulting only the changes from last commit appearing as a change for the whole PR, which is very bad, since the PR could be failing tests, but the last commit's changes in doc file only will make it appear that everything is green, which could be very misleading.I wasn't able to reproduce this yet another edge case (see attempts below), but we clearly have that happened in #8918
So this PR disables the magic until I hope I get a solution from circleCI devs which we are discussing via their support.
I'm leaving the printouts in place to continue diagnosing the issue.
It could also be that we won't be able to do that if we don't find a reliable to way to get such a simple information from circleCI, then I will remove it completely.
Thank you for bearing with me, as this is a nice-to-have but not an essential feature.
