In case that this option is truly considered, there are probably quite a

The available open-source packages that could form a basis for tensor
calculus and Differential geometry in Sage are:
Axiom (FriCAS, OpenAxiom)
Reduce (used alot by physicists, and has some specialized toolboxes
that could serve the purpose)
Cadabra
This would be a good a
Some people in my dept. use Cadabra, a CAS developed with field-theory
in mind (i.e. lots of tensors):

I have no experience with it so cannot advise on its usability.
However, it's written in C++ and released under GPL2, so ideally could
be wrapped up in Sage.

Hrm, well, one could drive the proverbial truck through that
