Bucket the slave_machine work directory (and implicitly run_isolated's cache) per tag #149

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Right now, slave_machine.py creates a 'work' directory and doesn't clean it. It 
is so run_isolated keeps it cache in there.

In practice, we want slave_machine/local_test_runner to know more about each 
cache and treat the whole 'work' directory as a cache. The idea is to have "tag 
specific cache".

This assumes that cross-projects do not share much binary, so they do not 
benefit much from using the same cache.

Still unsure it's a great idea, filing for tracking purposes.
