There are definitely a lot of lists that are copied from the Makefile into CMakeLists. For some concrete data, here are the patches I needed for two of my topics.
This first one is for a topic that remotes git-remote-testsvn and associated code.

I suspect most of these lists could be pulled from the Makefile with a pre-processing step. This second one is for a topic which moved some credential programs into builtins (since they link libgit.a and nothing else, there's no reason for them to take up extra space on disk). Even if we read more lists from the Makefile, I think these hunks still would have needed to be modified in CMakeLists because I changed the way they interact with NO_UNIX_SOCKETS (instead of not building credential-cache in that case, we get a builtin that says "sorry, this was built with NO_UNIX_SOCKETS"). --- contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt | 20 +------------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt b/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt index 47215df25b..4be61247e5 100644 --- a/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt @@ -501,15 +501,9 @@ unset(CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES) #programs set(PROGRAMS_BUILT - git git-bugreport git-credential-store git-daemon git-fast-import git-http-backend git-sh-i18n--envsubst + git git-bugreport git-daemon git-fast-import git-http-backend git-sh-i18n--envsubst git-shell git-remote-testsvn) -if(NO_UNIX_SOCKETS) - list(APPEND excluded_progs git-credential-cache git-credential-cache--daemon) -else() - list(APPEND PROGRAMS_BUILT git-credential-cache git-credential-cache--daemon) -endif() - if(NOT CURL_FOUND) list(APPEND excluded_progs git-http-fetch git-http-push) add_compile_definitions(NO_CURL) @@ -633,9 +627,6 @@ target_link_libraries(git common-main) add_executable(git-bugreport ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/bugreport.c) target_link_libraries(git-bugreport common-main) -add_executable(git-credential-store ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/credential-store.c) -target_link_libraries(git-credential-store common-main) - add_executable(git-daemon ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/daemon.c) target_link_libraries(git-daemon common-main) @@ -672,15 +663,6 @@ endif() add_executable(git-remote-testsvn ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/remote-testsvn.c) target_link_libraries(git-remote-testsvn common-main vcs-svn) -if(NOT NO_UNIX_SOCKETS) - add_executable(git-credential-cache ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/credential-cache.c) - target_link_libraries(git-credential-cache common-main) - - add_executable(git-credential-cache--daemon ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/credential-cache--daemon.c) - target_link_libraries(git-credential-cache--daemon common-main) -endif() - - set(git_builtin_extra cherry cherry-pick format-patch fsck-objects init merge-subtree restore show
