>From reading through this, I think I understand the confusion faced. Typically when we see a source release, its tied to a single git repo. Generating the source release in this case involves a special type of git checkout, which IMHO is just fine.
It just needs to be documented that when you clone the repo, it's using the --recurse-submodules flag. This should result in Cloning into 'incubator-skywalking'... remote: Counting objects: 114594, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (38/38), done. remote: Total 114594 (delta 10), reused 29 (delta 2), pack-reused 114539 Receiving objects: 100% (114594/114594), 134.38 MiB | 4.55 MiB/s, done.

Sheng, do you know if this checkout is documented somewhere?
