Description
The --keep option is NOT working in case.setup in cime6.1.169 with other submodules from ctsm5.4.034.
How to reproduce. I setup a case, I'm using SMS_D.f10_f10_mg37.I2000Clm60BgcCrop.derecho_nvhpc.clm-crop. I then kept a copy of the original keep files (env_mach_specific.xml, Macros.make, and Macros.cmake) (copied to one with .orig). Then I modified the case version by adding comments to the files. And then kept a copy of that (copied to .new). I made sure those files were readonly and then went through the case steps to see where it fails.
The case.setup works correctly, but on the case.build step it tries to overwrite the files and fails. I'll give details below
