Ah, ok. That explains it and makes me feel better.

Or is it updated in some sort of user directory each time the server gets a cloud sync? If it's made on request, we'll just need to make sure the response handler is also giving the no-cache header. 

The files are created on every push to a user's repo, but are otherwise static.
I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.
