I can assure you that the cmake developers agree with you, cmake must not create files in the source tree when building out-of-source. Wasn't there a way to get the cvs/svn stuff working with the eclipse generator ? E.g. by setting up a project in eclipse for the cvs/svn sources and then additionally loading the cmake generated out-of-source eclipse project ? I think a good thing would be to document in the cmake wiki how to set this up with the cmake generator.
