Comment (by leif):

 Replying to [comment:6 ncohen]:
 > As John I really do not get why all filenames containing `/.` should be
 filtered. But it's clearly a problem for me if I have to install Sage in
 my home directory, in a .Sage subfolder, and find out that I am unable to
 test Sage's code in parallel !

 Well, rename the folder to something not starting with a dot, then run
 `sage -tp ...` or `make ptest[long]` or whatever... ;-)

 The exception raised if no files to test remain should get fixed though,
 giving a reasonable message instead.  [We could also issue a warning
 (once!) if `SAGE_ROOT` or some specified directory's path contains a
 hidden directory.]

 The filtering really needs an overhaul, but probably on another ticket...
 (For example, the whole tree below a hidden directory should get pruned
 [once], instead of testing each file's path -- at least by default.  See
 the `XXX`s for similar issues...)
