CPM does not progress with git 2.50.0.windows.1

[Laguna1989]

I have the following code in my CMakeLists.txt

file(
        DOWNLOAD
        https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake/releases/download/v0.40.5/CPM.cmake
        ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake/CPM.cmake

)
include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/cmake/CPM.cmake)

message(STATUS "Fetching catch2")
CPMAddPackage(
		NAME catch2
		GITHUB_REPOSITORY catchorg/Catch2
		GIT_TAG v3.8.1
)

After upgrading to git 2.50.0.windows.1, the process of fetching externals hangs, with the last line being

-- CPM: Adding package catch2@3.8.1 (v3.8.1)

Downgrading to git 2.49.0.windows.1 solves the issue.

Using the usual git commands in a non-CPM context works as expected without any issues.

This is a rather old version of CPM that you're using. Changes to the use of FetchContent were implemented since then.

Does the problem persist if you switch to a newer CPM version? As in:

I just updated my Windows box to git 2.50.0.windows.1 and I can't reproduce this with a new CPM version
