The aim here is to make it clearer that we're really just running a task,
which could be executed from the command line, before worrying about globs and
parallelism and all that fun stuff.

Thank you for these updates: this is a useful addition.

Did you do a local build to check that it looks ok?

.. prompt:: bash

mkdir /path/to/my_repo
echo "lsst.obs.test.TestMapper" > /path/to/my_repo/_mapper

I'm not hugely happy about this, since this method of making a pseudo-butler is going away in gen3, but then again the code I wrote isn't gen3 compatible, so I guess its fine?

I am a Gen 3 neophyte. Is there a better way to do this? I didn't know of one, but if there is I'll happily use that instead.

For gen3 there is not; you call Butler.makeRepo(), but the refcat ingester is only gen2 right now anyway...

I do wonder whether this bit about making a fake repo should just be removed, as anyone running this is going to have a butler repo available.

Yes: I confirmed it looks ok locally.
