-- Previously, on the fly indices didn't have dictionary set on the fly, so the GATK would read, add dictionary, and rewrite the index. This is now fixed, so that the on the fly index contains the reference dictionary when first written, avoiding the unnecessary read and write
-- Added a GenomeAnalysisEngine and Walker function called getMasterSequenceDictionary() that fetches the reference sequence dictionary. This can be used conveniently everywhere, and is what's written into the Tribble index
-- Refactored tribble index utilities from RMDTrackBuilder into IndexDictionaryUtils
-- VCFWriter now requires the master sequence dictionary
-- Updated walkers that create VCFWriters to provide the master sequence dictionary
System has the concept of a local and a global MD5 db. The local one is like it operated previously. The global one lives in /humgen/gsa-hpprojects/GATK/data/integrationtests. If the system can find this directory then MD5s will also be read / written to this location. This means that gsabamboo will print differences as appropriate. And all users will in effect have access to a complete history of MD5 file results.
A few minor code reshuffles changed VariantRecalibration and VCFHeader test files.
