描述
Description of the bug:
Hi!
I noticed that our warm Bazel implementation started complaining about inconsistent file sizes in @@+local_repository+blah//, when someone edited //third_party/blah/BUILD. It turns out that this repo was configured as
local_repository(
name = "blah",
path = "third_party/blah",
)
We are running with --watchfs --experimental_check_external_repository_files=false.
I am 99% sure that this problem is caused by --noexperimental_check_output_files not specially treating external repositories that point back into the source tree.
My gut feeling is that making this work will be hard, and I wonder if we could instead forbid this?
