1694234 - vcsreplicator stream clone function performs working directory checkout in some cases

Status: REOPENED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: hg.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Connor Sheehan [:sheehan]]

When creating the backup node for hgmo I noticed some of the repos had checked out working directories. This is because the recent change to bootstrap repos using stream clones did not add the -U/--noupdate flag to the hg clone call. Thus in certain cases a default revision will be checked out, which can mean 250k+ files unnecessarily existing on-disk.

We should add the missing flag and audit the mirrors for any unnecessary working directory checkouts.

Else we'll have a whole bunch of repos with useless working directory checkouts,
as we currently do on the backup node.

Re-open until I fix the unnecessary checkouts on mirrors.
