[MITgcm-support] behind-the-scenes CVS repository changes

[Ed Hill]

Hi folks,

Due to disk upgrades, the location of the CVS repository has been
physically moved.  If you've been using the "standard" location listed
on the web site:

  http://mitgcm.org/source_code.html

then you should have no problems since soft-links should correctly hide
the "behind the scenes" changes.

However, if (like me) you've used different CVSROOT specifications then
here are a set of bash commands to "change" the repository locations:

  cd TOP_DIRECTORY_OF_YOUR_LOCAL_CVS_COPY
  a=`find . -name Root | grep 'CVS/Root'`
  for i in $a ; do 
    echo ':ext:mitgcm.org:/u/gcmpack' > $i 
  done

and they're included as a script below.  Note that this method is also a
convenient way to switch a local copy of CVS content from "pserver" to
"ext" mode.  And please make backups before running any scripts that
might harm your hard work!

Ed
