Syncing of collections from git repos fails to clone any submodules

[dkliban]

test_sync_collection_from_git is failing because the pulp_installer collection now has a symlink to a file in the forklift submodule. The git remote needs to make sure that it also clones all submodules in a git repository.

like git clone --recurse-submodules ?

@mdellweg exactly that. I was able to add that to the git clone command, but now it seems like galaxy-importer has a bug related to this also. When galaxy-importer extracts the collection into a temporary directory, it does not copy any of the submodules. As a result it still can't find the file being pointed to by a symlink[0].

This happens because the project's galaxy.yml has been configured to ignore the forklift directory at collection build time https://github.com/pulp/pulp_installer/blob/main/galaxy.yml#L88
