New submission from Benoit Boissinot <bboissin@gmail.com>:

if two clone with the same destination directory are launched at the same time,
they might it a race condition where one will delete the other.

possible fix: if the creation of the .hg directory fails because of EEXIST,
don't run dircleanup (needs fixing in hg.py and localrepo.py), if the creation
of the dest directory fails it should "pass". Moreover the locking order might
be improved (lock before writing anything to the repo).
