Summary0014417: "cmake --system-information sfile .." removes "x" perm from ../ and fails
Descriptionfrom my build subdir, I executed "cmake --system-information sinfo .." and it generated lots of error messages like this:
CMake Error st CMakeLists.txt:76 (FILE):
   file Internal CMake error when trying to open file:
   /usr/people/thompson/Xdfm2/build/.. for writing
Call Stck (most recent call first):
   CMakeLists.txt(83) (DUMP_FILE)

the final error message is:
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
   No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

should be added to the top of the file.

After running this, I was not able to execute "ls ..", due to the fact that x-permission had been removed from the parent directory. I was able to reproduce this several times, after manually restoring x-permission each time. Apparently it removes x-permission early and then cannot access the files in the parent directory, which results in all the error messages.
Steps To Reproducecmake --system-information sinfo ..
Additional InformationAlso, despite the error about there being no cmake_minimum_required line, it is in the file ../CMakeLists.txt.

I ran the command with ".." as the final argument since the man page for cmake indicates to me that it is required (and other cmake commands require a directory as an arg). Since the x-permission as removed from .., I tried running cmake without .. as an arg, and got different results. The x-permission was not removed, but I still got the warning message about cmake_minimum_required. I did get an sinfo file, so the command worked better without .. as an arg. So at this point I would say that it gives an erroneous warning, that the man page is misleading if a subdirectory is given, and that if a subdirectory is given, it should not remove x-permission.
