Thanks! I tried this and got:

$ raco pkg update --clone drracket
Inferred package name from given `--clone' path
  package: drracket
  given path: drracket
Inferred package scope: installation
open-output-file: cannot open output file
  path: /usr/share/racket/pkgs/.LOCKpkgs.rktd
  system error: Permission denied; errno=13

etc.

So I tried again with:

$ raco pkg update --user --clone drracket
Inferred package name from given `--clone' path
  package: drracket
  given path: drracket
raco pkg update: package installed in a different scope
  package: drracket
  current scope: user
  installed in scope: installation

So, neither of those works.

Also, the documentation for --clone says: Clone Git and GitHub package
sources to <dir> and link

But I have a clone already where my change to drracket are, so I want to
use that, not a fresh clone.
