Add speed-dreams-data as a submodule There were several reasons behind splitting the old SVN monorepo in two Git repositories: - It made packaging for GNU/Linux distributions easier, since speed-dreams-data would be often considered as a separate, portable package, as typically done in other video games. For example, 0ad and 0ad-data, cube2 and cube2-data, and so on. - It reduced the repository size for the engine repository as much as possible, which is often desirable for CI/CD runs and developers with poor connectivity and/or who only want to perform quick changes to the source code. After all, speed-dreams-data is around 294 MiB as of the time of this writing, whereas speed-dreams-code is around 36 MiB. However, there are situations where having both repositories together is desirable or even mandatory: - In the case of Windows builds, both repositories must be configured by the same top-level CMakeLists.txt so that files and targets from both repositories are installed simultaneously, and therefore packaged into the NSIS-based installers. Otherwise, it would require users to run two separate installers, one for speed-dreams-code and another for speed-dreams-data. - Having a submodule makes which version from speed-dreams-data is compatible with speed-dreams-code clearer. - Not having a submodule required developers to both fetch the speed-dreams-data repository and install it, which means double disk space usage. - Some users might still prefer to work on a monorepo and not have to worry about installing speed-dreams-data beforehand. 2025-01-15 06:19:03 +01:00			`[submodule "data"]`
