[aspect-devel] error: cannot declare field ‘aspect::GeometryModel::Chunk<2>::manifold’ to be of abstract type

There was a recent change that required every manifold class to have a clone() 
function that simply returns a copy of the object. Want to give it a try to 
implement such a function? It should actually be quite easy to implement that 
in all cases. We'd love to have such a patch, of course!

(This only went in yesterday, so you seem to have picked the first possible 
opportunity to hit this problem :-) )

Best
  W.
