Comment(by ddrake):
Another question: how does one rebuild a non-default branch? Let's say I
have a session running in the main branch, and on the side, I'm doing
some testing in the "test" branch. I want to rebuild in sage-test, but I
don't want to switch the symlink, because then the running session will
get confused.
All of the various "-b" options say that they switch to a branch -- do we
have to do that?
Maybe another way to say this: I want at least one of these statements to
be true:
* "a running session / set of doctests / etc will never get confused if
the symlink gets switched around"
* "you can rebuild a branch with something like {{{env SAGE_BRANCH=foo
./sage -b}}}"
Does this seem reasonable?
