Details

(Whiteboard: [hg][tryserver]) 

Right now we clobber the entire source and object directory for each try run.

Using hg share makes this process faster by making the 'clone' step fast, but we can do better still by cleaning out the source and object directories instead of deleting them.

hg purge --all does the trick here.

Note that 'hg status -u -i -n -0 | xargs -0 rm' will miss cleaning up empty directories.

Syed, any progress here?

My thinking here was to extend hgtool.py with a "-p/--purge" option that will run "hg purge" on the target directory. It should be a fatal error if purge fails.

We can then modify the invocation of hgtool.py in our try build factory to pass --purge to hgtool.py.

I believe all our build slaves currently have purge enabled.
