[Mitgcm-support] RE: Release1 branch

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

I don't have a problem with the CVS commands. 
 
I do have a problem with knowing what I am allowed
to do, and not being allowed to do what I think
I need to do. What I want to do at the moment is make the release1 branch
identical to the HEAD of the current release1-branch branch!
I then want to work on the tutorials in preparation for making the
tag release1_beta2, on that branch. I do not want to
do this in c44, because there are things in c44 that
I don't necessarily want in release1_beta2 and also because
I do not want the tutorials on the main branch for
now. However, as I understand it, I am not allowed to do this!
Therefore I am stuck... 

There seems to be some confusion over the meaning of the word "people".
By people I meant Jean-Michel, Patrick, Alistair, Helen and me.
The rest of the planet would only download from release1-branch
or branch release1 when there is a tag, which there isn't. That has
always been the case i.e. developer people sometimes take things
from the HEAD of a trunk or branch, however people people only take tagged 
things like checkpoint44, release1-beta1 etc.....
Or have I got that wrong too!

Chris, if you want to fix the tutorials now then put them in the main
branch (I spelled out the single command you need to do this in
a previous email) and fix them.

If you feel no body can download the "right" code it's because there
hasn't been a beta since beta1. beta1 is the right code until
there's a new beta. If it's time for people to download a new code
then let's make beta2.
