remove-CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS
-------------------------------

* The :variable:`CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS` variable no longer has any
  effect.  Previously it was partially implemented and unreliable.
Remove CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS variable. The test for this variable was removed in commit v2.8.8~330^2~7 (complex: Remove ancient unused ComplexRelativePaths test, 2011-12-23). Commit v3.1.0-rc1~425^2~2 (backtrace: Convert to local paths in IssueMessage, 2014-03-12) appears to have accidentally made some backtraces print relative paths with the variable because conversions which used to be done at configure time, before the variable had an effect are now potentially done at generate time. The documentation of the variable says not to use it, and the docs are wrong in that the variable actually applies in per-directory scope. The read of the variable makes it harder to split conversion methods from cmLocalGenerator where they don't belong. Remove it now. 2015-06-01 20:56:46 +03:00			`remove-CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS`
