Unnecessary copies of grid.nc and kmt.nc in cice #161

Closed aidanheerdegen closed 5 years ago

Because grid.nc and kmt.nc are copied to the RESTART dir with the CICE driver, they are also archived to the subsequent restartXXX directory with the newly overwritten restart files.

This can lead to a lot of wasted space, particularly the high resolution (0.1 deg) model, where grid.nc is 1.9G.
