Description

These now use the PinsAccessTimeCache, which is flat.

In this all it has to do is...

  • if a cache dir starts with http_
  • glob all files inside it
  • use each file's access time to decide whether or not to prune it

Research direction

Start at the cache_prune entry point and inspect how PinsAccessTimeCache represents flat caches. Check the handling of cache directories whose names start with http_, then verify that their files are globbed and pruned according to access time; add or run the relevant cache-pruning tests if the repository provides them.
