Description

The current implementation of the "Clone Repo in Container Volume" takes away from the user the freedom to perform the git clone in the way he/she wants.

  • For what I can tell, it is not possible to do a --recursive clone
  • No way to clone a single branch with --single-branch
    etc...

I think that a new "advanced" clone option should be added.
What I have in mind is that when prompted for the git URL, you have the option to provide either a URL or a git clone command, that you can fully customize.
