Review Comment:
   While this and the below concurrency test are well intentioned I think the 
issue with these kinds of tests is that we end up doing a lot of complex stuff 
just to try and repro the internal state of that class that used to be 
concurrent but no longer is. We could use barriers but even that's super 
complex.
   
   If we take a step back, in terms of the internal implementation we've now 
structurally changed the code to collect the deleted files in a single-threaded 
manner; so it's a bit questionable to write a test which does all this work to 
simulate the conditions to hit this internal state that no longer exists.
   
   In combination with the deterministic test for making sure retries don't 
double count the duplicates, I think we're fairly well covered.
   
   In that case, I would simply just recommend removing this and the test 
below.
