+One-line Summary: Receive and pass --non-local option in cam.case_setup.py
+Github PR URL: https://github.com/ESCOMP/CAM/pull/1456
+
+Purpose of changes (include the issue number and title text for each relevant GitHub issue):
+  - Allow users to create and set up a case on one machine and run on another (this fix enables CAM to do that):no issue made
+  - update cime external to bring in the change required in it and the fix for multi-instance jobs
+
+Describe any changes made to build system: N/A
+
+Describe any changes made to the namelist: N/A
+
+List any changes to the defaults for the boundary datasets: N/A
+
+Describe any substantial timing or memory changes: N/A
+
+Code reviewed by: cacraigucar
+
+List all files eliminated: N/A
+
+List all files added and what they do: N/A
+
+List all existing files that have been modified, and describe the changes:
+M       .gitmodules
+M       cime
+           - update CIME external
+
+M       cime_config/cam.case_setup.py
+           - mods to support the --non-local option
+
+M       cime_config/testdefs/testlist_cam.xml
+           - Set timing of GPU tests back to 45 minutes and resume running test
+
+If there were any failures reported from running test_driver.sh on any test
+platform, and checkin with these failures has been OK'd by the gatekeeper,
+then copy the lines from the td.*.status files for the failed tests to the
+appropriate machine below.  All failed tests must be justified.

+       NOTE: Jian has determined this is due to changes on derecho with the the last upgrade.

+	cam6_4_130.

+	Check that the end of the cesm_log is: (If not, please report to Jian as CISL is supposed to make a change on derecho)
