Feature idea: variant of --override-repository that symlinks to local checkout

[hoodmane]

For example, if I've cloned emscripten at ~/emscripten then the idea would be that:

./emsdk install tot  --override-symlink emscripten-main@~/emscripten

would make emsdk/upstream/emscripten into a symlink pointing to ~/emscripten.

If you are just trying to use emsdk binaryies with your existing emscripten checkout that I think they easiest thing to do is just export EM_CONFIG=/path/to/emsdk/.emscripten when then just put your version of emcc first on the PATH. You don't need to tell emsdk about your emscripten check.

Or you can just run ./test/runner or ./emcc from you checkout with EM_CONFIG set.

When EM_CONFIG is set you don't need a config file at all in your checked out version of emscripten.

You also don't need to run source emsdk_env.sh in this case.
