I understand that the policy is to not clone the .git folder by default.
But, I'd like to use git submodules inside the dockerfile.
How can I override this setting or work around it for this repo?

Unfortunately, we do not have support for get submodules at this time. Usually the community recommends using GH Actions as a way to set the build context like so:
```
name: "Pull submodule / Push to deploy branch"
on:
push:
branches: - main
jobs:
pull_submodule_and_deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
with:
submodules: true
- name: Update commit author
run: |
git config user.name 'github-actions[bot]'
git config user.email 'github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com'
- name: Push to deploy branch
run: |
git checkout -b deploy
git rm --cached path/to/your/submodule
git rm .gitmodules
rm -rf path/to/your/submodule/.git
git add path/to/your/submodule
git commit -m "Flatten submodule for Railway deployment"
git push origin deploy -f
```
This should likely get you off the ground.
