From c8a9c88975f9711fe96b29bf16961267ff1fb54c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Werner Lemberg Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 07:06:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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. --- README | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README b/README index 7a8a2dced..856010707 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -16,7 +16,9 @@ Read the files `docs/INSTALL*` for installation instructions; see the file `docs/LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses.
