  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.
