[Mitgcm-support] RE: -D now

Hi Chris,

it's Lars, I just visited Patrick. He suggests the following.
Let's branch it from c44d_post, i.e. it has all my
adj. related changes, and is just before the start
of the ptracer changes, shap. filt. changes etc.

So I'll branch from c44d_post and include the GM-related changes
to release_1 final.

I'll also check in the changes into the Head so that
they're up to date AD-wise.

Alistair, my suspicion is that the FAILED for global_ocean
is related to the change of the call of packages_init_variables
(the new verif/glo... uses ptracer and this is also initialised
from packages_init_variables).
