Looking in

SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-sage

we see that "sage -testall" calls the script sage-maketest which passes all of its options on to "sage -t" with a specific list of paths (all one line):

"$SAGE_ROOT"/sage -t -sagenb "$@" "$SAGE_ROOT"/devel/sage/doc/common  \
     "$SAGE_ROOT"/devel/sage/doc/en  "$SAGE_ROOT"/devel/sage/doc/fr   \
     "$SAGE_ROOT"/devel/sage/sage 2>&1 | tee -a "$SAGE_TEST_LOG"

Thus if you do:

sage --testall --long

then this is like "make testlong". If you just do

sage -- testall

then this is identical to "make test" (if you look in SAGE_ROOT/makefile you'll see that make test just calls sage-maketest. Note that make testlong on the other hand has a specific list of directories it tests, defined in SAGE_ROOT/makefile. Right now they match the list in SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-maketest. However, if these ever get out of sync, bad things will happen in that "make test" and "make testlong" would suddenly test different code. Somebody could open a trac ticket to unify these before something bad happens.
