 Can you file a bug?  I didn't realize there *was* retry behavior -
 what is the purpose of this?  To support checkouts over flaky

 It looks like the immediate bug could be fixed (only os.mkdir(..) if
 not os.path.exists(..)), but it really should be tested, and there
 might be larger problems beyond this one.
