1328aa3307 * Start of concurrent garbage collection. Processes write temporary
roots to a per-process temporary file in /nix/var/nix/temproots
  while holding a write lock on that file.  The garbage collector
  acquires read locks on all those files, thus blocking further
  progress in other Nix processes, and reads the sets of temporary
  roots.

a7668411a1 * Add a test to check whether concurrent garbage collection (i.e.,
running the collector while builds are in progress) works
  correctly.  The test currently fails.
