Description

I know most of these hooks are maintained individually, but it might be nice with each new version branch of MESA to create a new version branch here as well. That way when the procedures are (or are not) updated with each version they are tagged/included appropriately with the versions of MESA they are compatible with. It would help to make it more clear when a specific procedure is no longer being maintained for newer versions of MESA.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify how MESA version branches should map to this repository and how procedure compatibility will be represented. Done means an agreed branching and maintenance approach that clearly identifies which procedures are compatible with each MESA version.
