[Clp] CLP source repo / contributions

[Andy Somogyi]

Hi Ted, 

Thats great news about the github mirror. 

I’m super busy right now, so I won’t be able to merge in my various changes for another few weeks.

Oh, there’s a possibility there might be a bug in CoinPackedMatrix ctor which takes a triple array of indices and values, not sure yet, looking into it.

In the meantime, though, we will be very happy to accept pull requests. Since github makes it easy to download these as patches, we can still apply them to the subversion repo and you will see them reflected in the mirror.

That would be super convenient for accepting code contributions as people could just make a fork, make their changes, and send you a pull request. If you like the changes, just accept, if not, ignore it. That way, you never have to give other people write access to your repo, and you have complete control over your repo, and it makes it very easy for others to contribute.
