This change is needed because previously prepbuilddirs would delete the whole per-job directory. I will add some text to the commit messages to clarify this: building: Delete when cloning, not when preparing $builddir ... This makes it possible for later steps within a build job to look at the build trees from previous steps. This is helpful if for any reason it isn't easy or desirable to package up a formal set of build outputs for reuse. And rump kernel tests: Do a xen.git tools build ... ts-rumpuserxen-build does not generate a formal set of build outputs. Instead, the ts-xen-build step references the files generated by ts-rumpuserxen-build directly (and is told where to find them via the new command prefix runvars).
