Description

generate_coverage writes out files in both the package src directory as well as the julia installation directory (in /share/julia/base). Running clean_coverage removes the *.cov files from the package, but not from the julia base directory.

Start with the generate_coverage and clean_coverage entry points. Trace where coverage files are written and removed, including the package src directory and /share/julia/base. Done means clean_coverage removes *.cov files from both locations.
