Starting with CMake 3.16, explicitly setting +``GIT_SUBMODULES`` to an empty string means no submodules will be initialized +or updated. + +This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated +to expect the new behavior. + +The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is for ``GIT_SUBMODULES`` when set to +an empty string to initialize and update all git submodules. +The ``New`` behavior for this policy is for ``GIT_SUBMODULES`` when set to +an empty string to initialize and update no git submodules. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.16. Use the +:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly. +Unlike most policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn +when this policy is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior. |
