[CMake] Strange behavior with Nightly builds

From reading this, I get the distinct impression that your are not interpreting the meaning of "nightly" in the same way that the rest of us are doing so.

Let's assume the following:

At 15 minutes past each hour, a new commit is added to the repository.

For the sake of description, the "zeroth" commit happens at 12:15 AM on June 21
Commit #1 is at 1:15 AM,
...
Commit #18 is at 6:15 PM,
...
Commit #22 is at 10:15 PM,
Commit #23 is at 11:15 PM,
Commit #24 is at 12:15 AM on June 22
...
Commit #47 is at 11:15 PM,
Commit #48 is at 12:15 AM on June 23
...

etc.

Further, assume that a build requires 5 minutes to run.

===

Now it terms of those assumptions,
please tell me:

What is the configured cutoff time for Nightly runs?
During which hours does the "continuous" builder run?
When does the "nightly" builder run?

Which builds do you expect to be posted to "continuous"?
Which builds do you expect to be posted to "nightly"?

===

With those answers, perhaps I will be able to understand what you expect and help explain how you might achieve it.
