The scripts sage-sdist and sage-bdist create a directory within $SAGE_ROOT/dist and then pack that directory in a tarball. The result is that dist contains both the original directory as well as the tarball. Currently, sage-rsyncdist removes this directory. Change the behaviour such that it keeps the directory.
Use case: in the release management script, dist/sage-rsync would contain all extracted spkgs. This would allow for an easy check that every spkg (including the Sage library) is hg-clean, that there are no uncommitted changes. Making this a *blocker* for immediate *release-management* use (I doubt anybody besides the release manager uses this script).
