[cmake-developers] [PATCH 0/9] Xcode: Generate stable project files

[David Cole]

Nice!!

I agree with Eike: perhaps you could start the patch series by putting the
verbose explanation in the text of the first commit, and explain "the
following 8... commits all help to minimize the diffs between CMake
generated project files and Xcode native project files."

I love it when people get into cleaning stuff up - little things like this
make all the difference when you're trying to analyze how something's put
together.

Thanks for the effort
