# This file defines the functions and targets needed to monitor
# the state of a git repo. If the state changes (e.g. a commit is made),
# then a file gets reconfigured.
#
# The behavior of this script can be modified by defining any of these variables:
#
#   PRE_CONFIGURE_GIT_VERSION_FILE (REQUIRED)
#   -- The path to the file that'll be configured.
#
#   POST_CONFIGURE_GIT_VERSION_FILE (REQUIRED)
#   -- The path to the configured PRE_CONFIGURE_GIT_VERSION_FILE.
#
#   GIT_STATE_FILE (OPTIONAL)
#   -- The path to the file used to store the previous build's git state.
#      Defaults to the current binary directory.
#
#   GIT_WORKING_DIR (OPTIONAL)
#   -- The directory from which git commands will be run.
#      Defaults to the directory with the top level CMakeLists.txt.
#
#   GIT_EXECUTABLE (OPTIONAL)
#   -- The path to the git executable. It'll automatically be set if the
#      user doesn't supply a path.
#
# Script design:
#   - This script was designed similar to a Python application
#     with a Main() function. I wanted to keep it compact to
#     simplify "copy + paste" usage.
#
#   - This script is made to operate in two CMake contexts:
#       1. Configure time context (when build files are created).
#       2. Build time context (called via CMake -P)
#     If you see something odd (e.g. the NOT DEFINED clauses),
#     consider that it can run in one of two contexts.

# Short hand for converting paths to absolute.
