Research direction

Start by tracing fine-grained incremental test cases to FineGrainedBuildManager.update(), focusing on how changed or added files and deleted files are ordered. Done means a test can request deletion before an update within one increment and covers that edge case.

Description

priority-2-low topic-fine-grained-incremental

Currently fine-grained incremental test cases always call FineGrainedBuildManager.update() with changed/added files before deleted files in the list of changed files. This can make it impossible to test certain edge cases. It should be possible to, for example, delete module first and then update another module (within a single increment).
