Replying to [comment:4 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.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the help. Doing "{{{env SAGE_BRANCH=foo ./sage}}}" to
use a different branch is great. I'll test this and see how it works.
Also, I see that right now, we use os.popen to call "ls -l" and parse the
resulting string to determine the branch. Yikes! This is way better.
