Changes

  • Let the link checker, which adds new comments to existing link check issues if there still is an open one, hide its own now-outdated comments from previous runs.

Context

In particular with long-running issues where links are broken for weeks (and over the course of dozens of git-scm.com deployments), while it is nice that the link checker adds the most recent "verdict", the previous ones are no longer that interesting. Let's hide them.

This is the case for example in #1962.

I verified that this patch works over in my fork where this workflow run added this issue comment and marked all previous ones as outdated, as desired.
