Summary:                    External Project improperly handles updates from VCS
Description: 
When External Project is configured to get sources from git repo from a branch
it improperly handles changes.

When generator is Ninja, it simply ignores changes and do not rebuild.
When generator is UNIX Makefiles it always rebuilds despite whether there were
changes or not.

Probably this is also true for other VCS sources.
