Summary0011617: Add warning to file(GLOB help text
DescriptionFrom my observations on the mailing list, the first instinct of a lot of users is to use file(GLOB to assemble lists of sources - not to do so is certainly one of the more frequent repeated responses. It seems that it would be prudent to add a warning to the help text stating that it shouldn't be used for this purpose and a brief explanation why (CMake can't automatically tell when you have added/removed a file in the directory).
