Git Submodules and BitBucket pipelines

[CHEWX]

With Git Submodules and BitBucket, it uses references folders rather than actual files which is fine, but when you use Piplines with it, it causes an issue as it's only seeing an empty folder.

So when you run the normal git push from local, it works fine and includes submodules, but via Pipelines it doesn't.

Has anyone found a way to do this? Or am I going to just have to drop Submodules?

Here's another ref with the same issue — https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44352168/upload-submodule-to-ftp-server-using-bitcucket-pipeline

Not sure if it's the same problem as for me... but cache_git_submodules is called before $SYNCROOT is set. Which results in an empty GIT_SUBMODULES thus no handling of submodules.

Quick fix (not clean enough for PR)
Find:

	set_syncroot
	write_log "Syncroot is '$SYNCROOT'."

Replace with:

	set_syncroot
	write_log "Syncroot is '$SYNCROOT'."
	cache_git_submodules

cc @mkllnk Just letting you know.

@ikeblaster this really was an issue. We have discussed this in another issue #295 recently. This should be fixed by #508
But this may not be a fix for the problem with Bitbucket.
