Message-ID
<cff50a467d7935be6789547233b2fa8276b36593.1619104091.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1619104091.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>

Add tests to confirm that path collisions are properly detected by checkout workers, both to avoid race conditions and to report colliding entries on clone.

+Parallel checkout must detect path collisions to:
+
+1) Avoid racily writing to different paths that represent the same file on disk.
+2) Report the colliding entries on clone.
+
+The tests in this file exercise parallel checkout's collision detection code in
