Delete marker file before fetching an external repository
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fetching a repository is a long-running operation that can easily be
interrupted. If it is and the marker file exists on disk, a new
evaluation of the RepositoryDelegatorFunction may treat this repository
as valid even though it is in an inconsistent state.

Clearing the marker file before initiating the fetch and only recreating
it after the fetch is complete prevents this scenario.

Fixes bazelbuild#8993.

Closes bazelbuild#14302.
