This only happens when the `GradleBuild` task is used. You can mostly ignore the distinction between "cross session" and "build session" state.

### Build tree state

"Build tree" is another name for the build definition.
The "build tree state" holds the state for the entire build definition for a single build execution within a session.

The build tree state is managed by the `BuildTreeState` class.

Gradle uses pull requests for contributions. Fork [gradle/gradle](https://github.com/gradle/gradle) and clone your fork. Configure your Git username and email with:

    git config user.name 'First Last'
    git config user.email ******@****.***
