Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
If a `ctest_*` command has CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR then any errors generated
by cmake during that command will cause the value to be assigned `-1`.
This will prevent a `ctest -S` script from returning non-zero unless the
script explicitly calls `message(FATAL_ERROR)`.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Add variable CTEST_CHANGE_ID to configure the setting. This allows
CTest clients to give CDash information about what change is being
tested so that CDash can take actions to report the results (e.g. to a
pull request page).
Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
In cmCTestHandlerCommand::InitialPass call InitializeHandler after setting
the CTest "SourceDirectory" and "BuildDirectory" configuration values
instead of before. This makes the values available to InitializeHandler
methods in subclasses, so also drop the duplicate configuration of those
values from cmCTestConfigureCommand::InitializeHandler.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
The previous approach to handling of arguments to ctest_* commands
worked only for keyword/value arguments with a single value. This
refactors the approach to allow some commands to define alternative
argument forms.
