merge script: SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

[Minh Nguyen]

Hi folks,

I'm starting to learn how to use the merge script in Sage 4.1, but
encountered some syntax error. Here's a transcript of my session:

[mvngu@sage sage-4.1]$ pwd
/scratch/mvngu/sage-4.1
[mvngu@sage sage-4.1]$ ./sage -merge 5996
File "/scratch/mvngu/sage-4.1/local/bin/sage-apply-ticket", line 464
os.chdir(SAGE_ROOT+'/tmp)
^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

As you can see, I was working in /scratch on sage.math.

There's a typo in the script file (a missing quote, as you can see).
I had that, and thought it had been fixed. You can edit that line
yourself and try again -- but of course someone should patch the
master copy.

I have added a patch which now needs review.
