<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>As pointed out in <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/1721/simfactorys-test-mechanism-should-use?iframe=true&spa=0#comment-50394399" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/1721/simfactorys-test-mechanism-should-use?iframe=true&spa=0#comment-50394399</a> not all clusters allow access to the file system that contains the source code from a running job. </p>
<p>So copies are required there.</p>
<p>To avoid the complication of a cache or determining if symbolic links would work, I suggest we keep the copying.</p>
