Comment(by robertwb):
Currently, the branch of a Sage install is determined by where the
devel/sage symlink points. This means that one cannot have one process
running the version of Sage in devel/sage-foo while another runs the
version of sage in devel/sage-blarg. This patch puts control of which
branch to use into an environment variable (set from the symlink by
default), so two branches can safely be run or tested at the same time out
of the same install.
With this branch I can set one branch testing, and then switch branches
and do something else while that's running in the background. More useful
than testing, which could be done in bulk in parallel for a build bot, is
being able to have a notebook where different worksheets are running off
different branches. It will also make debugging easier, e.g. comparing
sage-main to new behavior.
