When using external_project, if GIT_TAG is modified the entire source tree
is removed and re-cloned causing a full rebuild of said project.

Hi all,
Now that we have released CMake 2.8.4, *now* would be a great time to
prioritize bug fixes for the next release of CMake.
Replies requested. Read on. *Just a short reply with bug numbers* or links
to the bugs is all we need here. Please move specific discussions into
the bugs themselves or start a new thread to talk about it... Replies on
this thread should just be a collector for bug numbers.
We are aiming for quarterly releases from now on, scheduling them every 3
or 4 months. That would make the next release of CMake version 2.8.5,
scheduled
to have an rc1 release candidate on Wed. April 27, 2011.
If you have a particular issue that you think should be fixed for inclusion
in 2.8.5, please bring it up by the end of this week. Ideally, each issue
will be discussed as needed on the mailing list to come to any consensus
about what should be done to fix it, and then an entry in the bug tracker
may be used to keep it on the radar screen, and to track activity related to
it.
Patches are always welcome. Patches that include testing of any new
features, or tests that prove a bug is really fixed on the dashboards,
basically any patch with testing is preferred over a patch with no testing.
Also, if you are *adding* code, then you also probably need to add *tests*
of that code, so that the coverage percentage stays as is or rises.
Please discuss issues here as needed, and add notes to existing issues in
the bug tracker that you are interested in seeing fixed for 2.8.5 -- we
will be looking at the mailing list and activity in the bug tracker to help
prioritize the bug fixes that will occur over the next 4 weeks.
Thanks,
David Cole

P.S. - as a nice summary of what we accomplished in the CMake 2.8.4
release, see here: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/changelog_page.php
-- it currently lists 127 issues that we resolved: nice job, everybody!
(Many of those were specifically addressed because somebody brought it up
in response to my similar email from just after 2.8.3... Don't be shy!)
