CMAKE_HOME_DIRECTORY
--------------------
-Path to top of source tree.
+Path to top of source tree. Same as :variable:`CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR`.
-This is the path to the top level of the source tree.
+This is an internal cache entry used to locate the source directory
+when loading a ``CMakeCache.txt`` from a build tree. It should not
