This is a feature of the configure+make build system, and not a feature of
the CMake build system. I also don't have any real desire to support it as
part of the CMake build system, I think it was always a flawed idea to
implement version control commands as part of a build system.

For example, I never, *ever* to in-tree builds, and a usually have many
different builds associated with a single source repository. This makes the
semantics of 'make update' quite confusing.

I suggest writing the 4 line shell script (or the Windows analog to a
4-line shell script) that updates your tree.
