描述
On slack, a user reported that using the venv_site_packages=yes flag caused millions of actions to occur. More user details would help verify its due to the flag.
That said but millions of actions is believable if there are many large targets and the conflict detection ends up having to recreate every file under site-packages. e.g. Given 100 tests (reasonable number), and 50,000 files in their deps (large, but not unheard of), then you end up with 5 million actions. No matter what, bazel is going to have to materialize 5 million files in such a case, but if we have to, at the analysis phase, perform 5M symlink() re-declarations, that's a decent amount of overhead.
At the least, we need to optimize the conflict resolution logic. When I fixed it to handle shared libraries better, I just did a simple and naive implementation. A more optimized version would look for a new minimal set of directories/files to symlink instead of just symlinking all of them. Similarly, runfiles.root_symlinks might come in handy here to avoid most symlink()-to-File action calls.

贡献指南
调研方向
首先使用 venv_site_packages=yes 重现一个大型测试图,并检查创建 symlink 操作的冲突解决逻辑。比较优化前后的操作数量和行为;在保留软件包解析的同时避免数百万个冗余文件或 symlink 操作,即表示完成。
