[MITgcm-devel] suggestion for http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Dimitris,

I am not sure that it's much more convenient for users to specify
the pserver path within the cvs command itself. 
Also I thinks the "cvs login" stage is still needed the first time
(run into this issue last time I set-up an automatic testreport on a new
 platform where I did not use cvs before but use "cvs co" the same way as
 you suggest).
And we would need to update the instructions (both in manual & on web-site)
to reflect this change.

However, we could certainly mention this alternative way on the CVS web-site page 
(http://mitgcm.org/public/using_cvs.html) and in the manual (section 3.2.1) as well.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
