[MITgcm-devel] Moving remaining pieces to github

[Oliver Jahn]

Hi Jean-Michel,

sounds good.  I've made a couple of repos along these lines:

https://github.com/jahn/mitgcm.org
https://github.com/jahn/regression_tests

The mitgcm.org one has some empty commit messages early on which I didn't touch.  I fixed one higher up where the conversion tool got confused (2002-09-20 Importing web-site building process.)

Let me know what you think (Jean-Michel and others).

Cheers,
Oliver
