Have a look at multimedia/obs-studio/get-obs-studio.sh which checks out 
a git repo, pulls in the submodules and generates a tarball. It 
specifies a particular git tag and uses that as the VERSION  for the 
tarball.

If you just want the master branch (so no real version number), have a 
look at system/incus-ui/get-incus-ui.sh which uses the date of last 
commit and its abbreviated git hash to generate a usable version string. 
This is based on something I saw in one of Pat's scripts and it works 
very well. This one doesn't check out submodules but you easily add that 
like the get-obs-studio.sh script does.

Once I have a full source tarball, I upload it to SlackBuildsDirectLinks 
repo at Sourceforge which can then become the DOWNLOAD url for your 
.info file.
