Documentation for all available fields in source.json and possibility to use recursive_init_submodules functionality of git_repository rule in source.json

[mauricelos]

Hi there,

I need some guidance for where to find a detailed documentation of all fields available for the source.json file. I'm also a bit lost with the creation of a module for a library that the vendor is not shipping with submodules included in the archives. When using the git repository instead in the source.json my MODULE.bazel and BUILD.bazel get overidden and I also can't init the submodules that are needed for the build. If there is a solution for such a situation I would appreicate this a lot!

Please check https://bazel.build/external/registry#index_registry

And from https://cs.opensource.google/bazel/bazel/+/master:src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/bzlmod/IndexRegistry.java;l=276, looks like recursive_init_submodules isn't currently supported.
