Comment (by jdemeyer):
Alternatively, `tar` is more portable than `cp` and usually deals with
symbolic links correctly. I know for example PARI use `tar` during the
installer for this reason. [http://www.xkcd.org/1168/ I don't know tar
well enough], but something along the lines of
{{{
# tar is the most portable way to copy files
tar c * .hg* | (cd "$DEVEL/sage-main/" && tar x)
}}}
