{{{sage_scripts-*.spkg}}} ''contains'' the {{{local/bin/.hg}}} repository
(at the ''top'' level), and '''only''' that. If during installation of the
spkg a repository already exists in {{{$SAGE_LOCAL/bin}}}, it gets
synchronized from that, so any file checked into the spkg's repo will be
"copied" to {{{$SAGE_LOCAL/bin}}}. Other files in the spkg's top-level
directory (i.e., in {{{.hgignore}}}) won't.
It would perhaps be less confusing if that spkg had the same structure as
almost all others, i.e. the files ''to be installed'' in {{{src/}}}
(including the {{{local/bin}}} repo), and the files that ''manage the
installation'' in the top-level directory, {{{sage_scripts-*/}}}, along
with their '''own''', separate, Mercurial repository.
