project_info.tcl is insufficient for versioning project settings

@artvvb

Capturing any and all Vivado project settings one would need is impossible with the current scripts. For example, Synthesis and Implementation strategies are not saved anywhere.

Checkin overwrites project_info with a very limited set of automatically extracted project settings. Even if strategies were captured there, project_info.tcl is sourced too early by checkout when runs are not created yet.

I see two possible solutions:

either create hooks in checkout to some manually managed tcl scripts where any further customization can be stored
or delegate all checkout functionality to a script versioned in the project repo (à la create_project.tcl), which can be created, if missing, with default content upon checkin, but managed manually afterwards.
