Robert and I are adding a check like

 git grep 2.8.11.20..

to the release process to look for cases that need a version
comparison update (where 2.8.11 is the existing release).
That will catch Source/cmPolicies.cxx lines too.

If you can add a test to catch the cmPolicies entries earlier
that would be even better.

Thanks,
-Brad
