If we were to go this route, let's
* update the log message to say that we assume we will use CMake to
build in-place.
* update the comment in the top part of the CMakeList.txt that
suggests it is a possibility to use it from subdirectories.
* optionally, update the same comment to recommend "clean -xdf"
as a way to bring the source tree back to the pristine state.
Will queue with a tentative attempt to do the first bullet point to
save one roundtip, something like:
When using CMake to generate the files required to build Git
in-place for Visual Studio, ...
Other two points needs help from others (iow, I won't do so myself
right now).
Thanks.
