Summary: Add warning to file(GLOB help text
Description:
>From 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).
