Feature request: External project GIT_REPOSITORY + GIT_TAG uses `git clone --branch=${GIT_TAG} ...`
For some brain-dead reason windows does not allow files or directories named aux
. A dependency of a project that I work on has a directory on master and most other branches named aux. The git clone succeeds, however, the checkout fails due to this wonderful Windows feature.
It would be great if external_project_add()
did not attempt to checkout branches/tags other than the one specified when using the git download/fetch strategy.
