I am specifically looking at this commit: [c0da651c09e11f9868529b7f8c4dc8f97c4546c8](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/4159/diffs?commit_id=c0da651c09e11f9868529b7f8c4dc8f97c4546c8).

Contextually, it looks it went into version 3.16 or 3.17, but I can’t tell which.

It went in 3.27:

```plaintext
$ git describe --contains c0da651c09e11f9868529b7f8c4dc8f97c4546c8
v3.17.0-rc1~162^2

Other hints that it was 3.17 (without having a local clone):

- the milestone for the MR is `3.17.0`
- the [merge commit](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/commit/c0ac53b90c170e781b085e219dae6cc03cccdfd3) (available towards the end of the MR in the “mentioned in commit …” note) tag listing (requires hitting the `···` button) shows `3.17.0-rc1`, but no 3.16 tags.
