That is fine, and I do not (yet) have an opinion on this patch
needing to be further split.
Quoting that part I was asking about again:

if you can have more than one 'x' such that
local_hg = os.path.join(shared_path, x, 'clone', '.hg')
exists, that means in repos[], there are two (or more) x1,and x2,
and in this loop you will run
shutil.copytree(local_hg, hg_path)
twice, once for local_hg derived from x1 and another time from x2,
both to the same hg_path directory that does not change inside the
loop. shutil.copytree(src, dst) however creates leading paths down
to dst and it would barf when dst already exists, no?
That is what I was puzzled about the code. The log message says "we
can copy from one of them if exists, so let's do so", which makes
sense, and a code structure that may match would have looked like
so:
for x in repos:
'''pick one at random, copy it and leave'''
copytree()
break
else:
'''nothing to be copied, do it the hard way by cloning'''
but that is not what I saw so that is where my confusion came from.
