Do you mean I can't push changes to admin/cmake in each individual module because the next time I resync they all will be overwritten? That any changes I always want to make to admin/cmake must be to the common ones and they must be pushed immediately?

How do I test here before pushing to the master server? If the replication occurs only at the main GIT server, then those replications do not occur locally to all of the modules in my local tree. Seems the only way to make this change is to patch my common admin/cmake and push immediately. But then I hold my breath that I did not break anything major.

Seems as though there is a point of uncertainty whne pushing changes to the common admin/cmake. I can't simulate the replication of the main GIT server.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the whole thing.

I also need to concurrently push the changes to tdelibs because of kstandarddirs.cpp.
