Commit on the trunk

Here are some general guidelines for commiting into the trunk ORCHIDEE.

Before commit:

• the code must be conform to the ORCHIDEE coding guidlines
• the modifications must be tested on at least one platform using MPI parallelism (except if only comments are changed)

Some cases must be discussed in advance:

• if the behavior of the model change. For example: change in parameter name in getin function, change in default value for some parameters, etc..
• if the interface towards the atmosphere is changed
• big modifications

During commit:

• write a useful log message in english
• use #X to refer to the ticket number X (the # will make a link directly to the ticket when visualizing the log message on the web)

After commit:

• for important changes, make a note here: trunk
• tell the project group if the results changed even for tiny changes. A new reference must then be done in the ​trunsting.
