commit c8a9c88975f9711fe96b29bf16961267ff1fb54c

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.
