[MITgcm-devel] switch from CVS to GitHub, next Tuesday

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Martin,

You could start, but it might take some time for PR to get merge
since the priority here is to get back the doc rst files (+Ocean Sciences
next week). And we will ask you at some point (but not now) to resubmit your
changes in pkg/seaice documentation.

Also, right now, the code is not tested on any cluster, only on 
baudelaire.mit.edu  and villon.mit.edu
Working to get it tested on engaging and svante.
I think the testing on these 2 clusters will be useful example since:
 - on svante: no ssh to outside world and no https on compute nodes,
   so code update is on head-node.
 - on engaging: both ssh to outside and git https are available from
   compute node, so everything can be done from inside batch job.
Now remember that some firewall might not allow: 
  "git clone https://github.com/MITgcm/MITgcm"
but might let you do: "git clone git at github.com:MITgcm/MITgcm"

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
