Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Okay, I have two options; which is better?  In `sage-update`, the files
 install, deps, and newest_version might get changed.  We could:

  - commit the changes in `sage-update`, and then the changes will get
 committed again by `root-spkg-install` when the root repo spkg is
 installed.

  - or in `root-spkg-install`, we can overwrite any changes: do `hg pull
 ...` to pull from the new repo and then `hg update --clean` to discard any
 other changes.

 The first of these adds a redundant commit message to the log file if the
 relevant files are changed.  The second discards all changes, including
 any other ones that the user may have made.  I don't know Mercurial well
 enough, but perhaps there is a better third choice?
