Based on a couple of the blogs I read about it, I'm not sure this is
trying to do too much, but I could be wrong.
In my scenario, I simply have a Git Submodule committed to my
repository that I want to update, then include/invoke/etc its
CMakeLists as an "external project".
So at best, maybe I could invoke ExternalProject_Add with
GIT_SUBMODULES "${MYPROJ_SOURCE_DIR}/repos/mysubmod".
Or am I missing something?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
