Some extensions, such as Extension:GuidedTour, require git submodules. It would be a very useful enhancement if ExtensionDistributor included these in the download, by default or optionally.
Yeah, we need this for VE too. Github doesn't support submodules, but it's easy to do this on labs (I already wrote a script to do it). Just requires a few changes to the extension...
Change 146430 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: Support having multiple API endpoints https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/146430
I've set up an API endpoint for VisualEditor on labs: http://tools.wmflabs.org/extdist/?version=REL1_23&ext=VisualEditor I don't see any submodules in GuidedTour?
Change 146430 abandoned by Legoktm: Support having multiple API endpoints Reason: We're going to just point everything to labs instead. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/146430
Once we switch to the new labs tarball generator, this will be fixed.

New tarball generator has been deployed, which now includes submodules.
