The retrieve option for chicken-install doesn't work for local transport

Description
Example:
$ chicken-install -r -t local -l /home/mario/src/chicken-eggs/release/4 html-utils retrieving ... Warning: destination for transport `local' ignored html-utils located at /home/mario/src/chicken-eggs/release/4/html-utils/tags/0.6
This command doesn't actually retrieve the egg code, although
$ chicken-install -r -t svn -l https://code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/4 html-utils
and
$ chicken-install -r -t http -l http://code.call-cc.org/cgi-bin/henrietta.cgi html-utils
do.

No pressing reason, absolutely.
Let me try to explain what I'm trying to do. I want to make salmonella execute eggs tests (i.e., tests/run.scm). As far as I know, chicken-install doesn't separate the installation and testing steps. That is, if I install an egg and the installation is successful, but tests fail, I suppose chicken-install will report a failure. It would be nice if salmonella could report that the installation step is ok and one or more tests failed.
I was thinking about implementing installation/tests separation by making salmonella install eggs like it currently does, then just retrieve eggs sources, install the test-depends dependencies and run tests/run.scm if it exists (reinstalling eggs wouldn't be necessary).
The retrieve option for local transport would be handy for people who have a checkout of the eggs repo and don't want extra network traffic. salmonella currently requires a local copy of the eggs repo.

I checked in something in "experimental". Please give it a try and tell me whether it works for you (commit c155b54).

Seems to work fine. Thank you. I'm closing this ticket.
This is actually intentional: -r is only defined for network access, on the local file-system, this would be just a glorified
cp -r. Is there a pressing reason to support this, or is the inconsistency a problem?
