Support submodules in Drydock working copies
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Currently the "I need access to other repositories" problem is solved by cloning things alongside your working copy, this isn't how everyone necessarily manages integrated repositories. In our case, we use submodules.

We have our own psedo-working-copy implementation that has been in use since before the recent drydock updates, we cheat and clone the whole repository every time and then just issue git submodule update --init.

Understandably, using persistent working copies with submodules presents additional problems. Ideas?
