            Some commits from the old base branch may be removed from the timeline,
            and old review comments may become outdated.

I think it should be possible to just make links, which will resolve to their original location IIRC.

What about the scenario where we want to share a restart directory with someone else, or perhaps even publicly somewhere, so that they can use it as a start point for simulations? I think it's likely enough that the original run would be somewhere that others won't have read permissions to, or even potentially on other machines.

I haven't looked into the code changes but I don't see how making a copy solves problems of read permissions? You need read access to be able to copy files. So links would just be as well.
Uh oh!

I'm thinking of a situation where someone (e.g. ACCESS-NRI) has run an expensive spin-up configuration and want to provide the restarts as a starting point for others in the community. The configuration may have 20+ stages, but the full suite of restarts may contain a restart from the 1st stage, one from the 5th stage and the rest from the most recent stage. A supported
payuworkflow is to take a restart from elsewhere and effectively plug it in, sopayutransparently restarts from this restart (I think this is true- I have memory of this being demonstrated on the training day).A scenario where I run a configuration to create a starting point for community science. I'll likely save the data to my non-permanent scratch space. I want to take the most recent
payuset of restarts and store it someone accessible ongdata. If the necessary older restarts are only known by symlink, then they'll disappear relatively soon and whichever user takes thispayurestart may not have access to my scratch space where the symlinked files live.There was a problem hiding this comment.

You can use
