| Pass `--single-branch` to clone only the master branch, otherwise cloning will be *much* slower (details in [issue #3236](https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/issues/3236)). | ||

| The repository uses submodules, which may need updating/initializing using `git submodule update --init`. The `managedSources` sbt task will alert you if this is needed. |

If the repository was cloned using the instruction above (i.e. using --recursive), it shouldn't be needed. I guess it is still useful if the repo was not cloned properly.
However, sbt will log an error at startup time. It is not the managedSources task. I would clarify this.

The --recursive option has been deprecated and we'd better update it in the documentation with the --recurse-submodules option
