#1201: Incorrect dtshift in Exact with shift_add_{x,y,z} parameters

Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version:
Keywords: |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
The Exact thorn has shift_add_{x,y,z} parameters for adding a constant to
the shift. Considering these as a coordinate transformation using a vector
v^i = [shift_add_x, shift_add_y, shift_add_z], such a transformation
should affect both the shift and its time derivative. This is because the
time derivative in the new coordinates differs from the time derivative in
the old coordinates by a term v^j d(beta^i)/dx^j. This is correctly
implemented as a 4D coordinate transformation in the EinsteinExact thorns
and I have verified that the difference relative to the Exact thorn is
given by this missing term.
