Git submodules not checked out in flake project, even with '?submodules=1' in flake uri.

[RichardWarfield]

Describe the bug
In a flake-based project that has a git submodule, the submodule seems not to get checked out, even with '?submodules=1' in the flake URI. The build fails with "No such file or directory" on a file in the submodule.

To Reproduce
A reproducing example is proj2 here and has proj1 as a git submodule.

Create a jobset with flake URI of git+ssh://[email protected]/RichardWarfield/proj2?submodules=1

Expected behavior
The job checks out the git repo with the required submodule and builds the project successfully
