Hi all,

I hope this is not too off-topic for the list, since it's not directly about 
SWC; apologies if so.

I'm starting to use a modelling system (written by others) where some important 
aspects of its configuration - relating to scientific logic rather than just 
build issues - are set by flags in the makefile and then conditional 
compilation. I've been thinking about how to make things sane and reproducible.

My first thought was to source-control the makefile with my other model input 
files (I do love putting model input files into git). But, obviously, the 
makefile is already in the repo for the software itself.

I *could* import all of the software's source (over 100Mb) into my "model 
inputs" repo, which would make everything entirely traceable and reproducible, 
but... it seems silly, and probably not the right way to do things.

Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
Simon
