      Hi,

      We have a very large project that has around 15 submodules. Some of the pipelines we have clone the parent project and init all submodules, via the git plugin with advanced submodule behavior and works well.

      But for some stages of that pipeline that run on a completely different build agent... their filesystem doesn't have that workspace, and the specific test activity that occurs in that stage (on that unique build agent) only needs the parent project and 1 of the 14 submodules.

      For those stages, we'd like to be able to use the plugin to clone that parent project and specify 1 submodule to init, instead of all submodules, this would save an enormous amount of time/storage/network, as each of these submodules are huge.
