Comment(by jhpalmieri):
This is kind of brutal, but we can replace the cloning part of sage-clone
with a single line like
{{{
cmd = 'cp -pr sage %s'%branch
}}}
(This is with the BSD version of cp on Mac OS X; it might be more portable
to use a python equivalent, like shutil.copytree.)
This has the disadvantage that some crap gets copied along with the good
stuff. This is probably a bad idea from other points of view, too; what
else goes wrong?
It has the advantage that modification times are preserved, while they are
not (as far as I can tell) when you use 'hg clone' to copy the repository.
By the way, the 'clone' section of the hg man page says:
{{{
In some cases, you can clone repositories and checked out files
using full hardlinks with
$ cp -al REPO REPOCLONE
This is the fastest way to clone, but it is not always safe. The
operation is not atomic (making sure REPO is not modified during
the operation is up to you) and you have to make sure your editor
breaks hardlinks (Emacs and most Linux Kernel tools do so). Also,
this is not compatible with certain extensions that place their
metadata under the .hg directory, such as mq.
}}}
This is where I got the idea, although their version creates hard links,
which I suppose is why it would be "the fastest way"...
