@JamieMagee this option is listed in user config options but seems like it's not possible to use unless in the admin config. I don't see any issues open about it yet, but maybe we treat this as a bug? https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/search?q=cloneSubmodules+is%3Aissue&type=issues |

We are getting a warning of
Unable to initialise git submodule at [location]
. Since we don't really care about that submodule being processed by Renovate we added the configuration option ofcloneSubmodules: false
in the repository, but we are still getting that error message. Does the repository configuration get processed after that submodule warning is logged?Secondarily, I think it would be nice if that warning included some details about why the submodule couldn't be initialized, it might be easier for us to just resolve that problem but I don't have any details to go off of why it couldn't be initialized.
Thank you!
