This pull request (and the corresponding new branch Run2 in the main repository) includes several major upgrades to the TreeMaker code:
git clone
procedure. (This has the unfortunate side effect of disconnecting the file histories on GitHub, but all the commits can still be browsed to see the incremental changes.)I have run basic tests on these upgrades and it appears that everything works as expected. However, analyzers should test the new version for themselves and make sure that nothing was broken or lost (especially for the different background estimations).
I will leave this pull request open for several days to allow comments from the other developers.
To test this pull request, you can clone from my fork:
git clone git@github.com:kpedro88/TreeMaker -b upgrade
