Weird directory structure with CIME fork

[samrabin]

I made a fork of CIME to add some functionality for a chain submission script I'm working on, but when I point Externals.cfg at it and check out the externals, it completely messes up the cime/ directory structure.

I've attached tree output for the normal-sourced and my-fork-sourced cime/ directories so you can see what I mean. Do you know what the problem might be? It looks like my directory structure matches the structure on the CIME Github repo, so maybe there's something additional happening during the checkout process that doesn't happen when I check out from my fork?

Here is the normal sourcing in Externals.cfg:

repo_url = https://github.com/ESMCI/cime
tag = cime6.0.15

And here's mine:

repo_url = https://github.com/samsrabin/cime_myfork
tag = 202207291803

Thanks in advance.

The cime directory structure was changed in a version newer than cime6.0.15. If you want to branch from
cime6.0.15 you should create a branch from that tag.

D'oh! Of course that would do it. Thanks!
