When action repository contains a broken symbolic link, "Set up job" stage will fail

[RadxaYuntian]

Describe the bug
My repository contains other parts of code (unrelated to the action itself) which depends on a git submodule. A symbolic link is created referencing files within this submodule, which when unchecked-out is pointing to a non existent path.

When action tried to download my repository, it won't download the submodule, and causing the action to fail due to broken link.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a broken symbolic link to an action repo
2. Run workflow using this action
3. See error

Expected behavior
For me the broken symbolic link is there by the nature of git submodule and is actually by design, but I understand that changing this will be a breaking change for existing users.

I'd like to see if there is more flexibility to handle this issue (Download submodules? Ignore broken symlink error?) on action writer's end. Though this might be an chicken & egg issue where only after action is downloaded can runner process its settings.

Runner Version and Platform

Current runner version: '2.315.0'
Operating System

What's not working?
