Anything like cmake's ExternalProject() to load an external git repo using xmake as a target?

Is there anything like cmake's ExternalProject() to load an external git repo using xmake as a target?

use git submodules + includes or use packages

[Freed-Wu]

Sometimes git submodules + includes cannot work. For example, one project use $(projectdir) in its xmake.lua, now add it as a git submodule XXX, then add includes('XXX'), the building will fail due to different $(projectdir).

you can use package
