Upgrade question: I have been editing two .gp scripts (in data/extcode/pari/simon) and two .py scripts (in devel/sage-main/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves and devel/sage-main/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves) with a view to providing a patch soon. If I do "sage -upgrade" now will those be overwritten? And in any case should I have been doing this differently than editing those files in place (and running "sage -b" after each change to test)?
Related question: devel/sage-main/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_rational_field.py is rather long (over 5000 lines); there is a case for splitting it up. Not least because runing "sage -t" on it takes several minutes, and only a few tests are relevant since most of that file is untouched.
