[CMake] Strange behavior with Nightly builds

[NoRulez]

Hello Richard,

>> What is the configured cutoff time for Nightly runs?
Did you mean the nightly build time?

>> During which hours does the "continuous" builder run?
Between 6 am and 10 pm

>> When does the "nightly" builder run?
Nightly build time is configured for 23:00 UTC (11 pm)

>> Which builds do you expect to be posted to "continuous"?
At 10 pm and at 6 pm in the morning (next day) the commit should be e.g. 48

>> Which builds do you expect to be posted to "nightly"?
At 11 pm the commit should be e.g. 48 (HEAD revision) which means the last commit from the current day
e.g.: If the last commit from the 21.06.2012 is at 12:30 am and has the commit 32, then the nightly build from the 21.06.2012 at 23:00 (11 pm) has (should have) the commit 32 too.
The only difference is that the nightly builds starts from an empty build directory (the directory content are removed).


Thanks in advance

Best Regards
