Some of the subdirectories in the ACME code contain code that was brought in from another repository. List them all.

external any subdirectory in ACME whose entire content is from another repository
upstream master the repository everyone is sending their changes to. Only one so that everyone pulling from the same source is working with all the same changes. The source of an external.

Methods for including externals

submodule a link that points to another git repository. See Sharing External Code using Git Submodules or submodules vs. subtrees . Submodules require an extra step after cloning to get the code.
subtree a set of files and commits from another git repo, brought in to your repo. See Sharing External Code using Git Subtree. Subtrees are included in ACME when you "git clone".
monorepo adding multiple projects, related or not, in the same repo.
buildtime the repo is checked out to the $CIME_OUTPUT_ROOT/$CASE/bld when compiling a case for the first time. Code does not exist in ACME repo.

ACME Rules for adding externals

...

In general, there are several ways to develop with external code in ACME

...

More specific instructions for externals are below. NOTE: a commit should never mix external and non-external code.
