Also revert commit 9702a01dc9 (Help: string(LENGTH): Fix synopsis link
to command description, 2023-12-30, v3.28.2~23^2). It was only needed
to avoid re-using a named reference that we've now removed.
Issue: #25546
Restore commit 4cb616fed6 (Tutorial: Provide a source archive when
published on cmake.org, 2022-04-27, v3.23.2~22^2). Its effects were
accidentally reverted by commit 9784834b4c (Help: Use `*.rst` extension
for included files, 2025-04-07, v4.1.0-rc1~354^2).

Xcode by default targets the SDK's macOS version rather than the host's
macOS version. In commit 7b19531291 (macOS: Do not pass any
SDK/-isysroot to compilers by default, 2024-11-06, v4.0.0-rc1~511^2) we
reverted commit 24aafbde11 (Xcode: Adjust deployment target SDK version
to host version, 2015-10-11, v3.4.0-rc2~6^2), but it is still needed for
Xcode. Restore the behavior so binaries run on the host by default.
Fixes: #27309
Policy CMP0189, introduced by commit b3da9c6d60 (GenEx: Evaluate
LINK_LIBRARIES target properties transitively, 2025-02-24,
v4.1.0-rc1~731^2), takes effect at generation time, and so uses the
policy value as of the end of each directory. However, some projects
may rely on `file(GENERATE)` with the policy's OLD behavior in order
to extract targets' *direct* dependencies from `LINK_LIBRARIES`.
Pending a first-class solution to that problem, make it easier for
projects to port to the policy's NEW behavior in general while
retaining the OLD behavior in an isolated context.
Fixes: #27220
Revert commit b70ef48b27 (install(DIRECTORY): Add
EXCLUDE_EMPTY_DIRECTORIES option, 2025-04-20, v4.1.0-rc1~212^2).
The implementation had at least two problems:
* It did not exclude the top-level directory if empty.
* It did not exclude non-empty directories whose contents are
all filtered out.
Revert the feature pending a revised implementation.
Issue: #19189Closes: #27092
The `project` command mentions that it sets variables "intended for use
as default values in package metadata". Add a sentence that the
`install` and `export` commands actually do so for CPS. Also add
`COMPAT_VERSION` to the list of relevant options.

When installing FILE_SETs, it is possible the FILE_SET has not yet been
created with target_sources(FILE_SET). Instead of ignoring this
situation, we need to track the installed FILE_SET names and their
possible install destinations.
At generation time we resolve the names and destinations concretely. If
a FILE_SET wasn't provided or isn't an INTERFACE, we silently bail out.
