+The CESM testing and porting database records all changes to CESM tags in 
+development and their associated regression tests. The ChangeLogs generated

+
+  Regression tests:
+  regression test suite only tests original capability 
+  regression test status of FAIL1 implies non-bfb
+  regression test status of FAIL2 implies restart failure
+  DO NOT create tag if FAIL2 status is obtained in any of the

+
+  - what code configurations:
+  - what platforms/compilers:
+  - nature of change (roundoff; larger than roundoff but same climate; new
+    climate): 
+
+If bitwise differences were observed, how did you show they were no worse
+than roundoff?
+
+If this tag changes climate describe the run(s) done to evaluate the new
+climate in enough detail that it(they) could be reproduced, i.e.,

+
+       See the CESM web site for documentation and information.

+CESM alpha tag creation should be coordinated through CSEG at NCAR. ([email protected]).
+
+*********************
+
+General instructions:
+
+For commits to the CESM svn repo 
+
+1) check out the latest cesm alpha tag but do not populate external directories
+> svn co --ignore-externals $SVNREPO/cesm1/alphas/tags/cesm1_5_alpha## my_sandbox
+> svn co -N $SVNREPO/cesm1/alphas/tags/cesm1_5_alpha## my_sandbox
+
+2) modify the file SVN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORIES with any changes to
+component tags
+> cd  my_sandbox
+> emacs SVN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORIES
+
+3) set the property for the external definitions - don't forget the dot at the end
+> svn propset  svn:externals  -F SVN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORIES .
+
+4) populate your sandbox with the external files
+> svn update
+
+5) test
+
+6) document your mods
+> cp  ChangeLog_template  ChangeLog.new
+> cat  ChangeLog  >>  ChangeLog.new
+> emacs  ChangeLog.new
+> mv ChangeLog.new  ChangeLog
+
+7) copy your sandbox to a new tag in the repository
+> svn copy . $SVNREPO/cesm1/alphas/tags/cesm1_5_alpha## -m "created tag cesm1_5_alpha##"
