branch: master
commit c8a9c88975f9711fe96b29bf16961267ff1fb54c
Author: Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
Commit: Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>

    REAMDE: Mention that gitlab's 'download' button doesn't work.
    
    This is because the `git archive` command doesn't preserve submodules.
    
    Note that currently there is no support for disabling the 'download' button
    in gitlab (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/17032).
    
    Fixes issue #1158.
