The command should be called +after the binary directory is initialized. If the 'source' and +'binary' directory are not specified, it reads the +:variable:`CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY` and :variable:`CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY`. +If the track is +specified, the submissions will go to the specified track. If APPEND +is used, the existing TAG is used rather than creating a new one based +on the current time stamp. If ``QUIET`` is used, CTest will suppress any +non-error messages that it otherwise would have printed to the console. + +If the :variable:`CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND` variable +(or the :variable:`CTEST_CVS_CHECKOUT` variable) +is set, its content is treated as command-line. The command is +invoked with the current working directory set to the parent of the source +directory, even if the source directory already exists. This can be used +to create the source tree from a version control repository. |
