Improve workflow of updating remote modules #5742

Updating remote modules is cumbersome. Brad made a nice suggestion to improve the situation. It would be good if someone implemented it. I am repeating it here:

To prevent the remote's hash to reverting to what is upstream, set CMake variables Module_XXX_GIT_TAG. In one of my local builds I have Module_MinimalPathExtraction_GIT_TAG set to e43a18f43272bea8c9de5ded7846efbffc81f0ad and Module_Montage_GIT_TAG set to 9aafc48520b2cac963f0f1dfad97b32ed9ab89cf.

That can be cumbersome with multiple remotes being modified... Ideally a flag not to update any of them would be ideal. 🤔
