Expected behaviour

Git submodules are included in the project archive created during deployment the local mirror.

Actual behaviour

Git submodules are not included via git archive.

Steps to reproduce

Run a deployment.

Ran into an issue I wasn't expecting when deploying a project - the git archive command does not support submodules.

From a little research, the accepted method to attack this is to is a wrapper. One example:
https://github.com/meitar/git-archive-all.sh/wiki

What do you think about this? If you're happy this would be in scope for deployer, I can work on a pull request?

CreateReleaseArchive.sh could just be updated directly, or another approach would be to create a separate script, and hide this behind a UI toggle when setting up the project, i.e. "Include GIT submodules?".

Ah, bugger, I forgot to check that when switching to using git-archive! I will take a look

OK been looking into this, turns out it'll take a bit of work as the archive uses a mirror of the repo (a bare repository) so can't init the submodules when creating the archive. I will have to look into rewriting how the archive is created
