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

[gael forget]

Hi Jean-Michel,

here a few edit suggestions for the updated mitgcm.org “source code” page:

> The MITgcm code and documentation are under continuous development. MITgcm was initially developed and maintained under CVS, until the project officially migrated to a git platform called GitHub on 2018/02. All of the previous development history has been transferred from the old, now frozen, CVS repository to the MITgcm git repository. The MITgcm documentation is embedded in the MITgcm git repository and hosted by readthedocs. The MITgcm code can be accessed in several ways:  
> 
> - Access the MITgcm git repository via your web browser.
> 
> - Obtain a clone of the up to date MITgcm code via the command line:
> 	git clone https://github.com/MITgcm/MITgcm.git
> 
> - Download a particular, archived stage of the model development:
> 	- any past MITgcm checkpoint either from GitHub or via mitgcm.org.
> 	- the latest daily "tar" or "zip" file either from GitHub or via mitgcm.org.
> 
> Note: Some outlying pieces (e.g., contrib area) are still alive under CVS and can be viewed through the CVS code browser.

with a few additional links:
- a link to some reference CVS site (https://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ <https://www.nongnu.org/cvs/> maybe?) when “CVS" first appears in 2nd sentence.
- same for git (https://git-scm.com/ <https://git-scm.com/>?) and github (https://github.com/ <https://github.com/>) in 2nd sentence.
- same for “ MITgcm git repository” (https://github.com/MITgcm/MITgcm <https://github.com/MITgcm/MITgcm>/) in 3rd sentence.
- same for “hosted by readthedocs” (https://mitgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ <https://mitgcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> or stable?) in 4th sentence

Cheers,
Gael
