3 years ago Hello,
it is not required for normal usage. Just omit the --recurse-submodules flag.
The testdata repository is part of a private CI chain located in the institute.
Due to the huge size of several GB, it is maintained as an external project and is included as an optional submodule.
Nevertheless, I will keep this issue open until I have checked for other ways to include those tests in a way that is convenient to us and does not confuse the normal users.
Best regards
Is this testdata still necessary?
