Rust dependency update fails due to renovate bot not cloning submodules

How are you running Renovate?

A Mend.io-hosted app

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Updates to Cargo.toml get PRs, but the PRs say that the update failed. The error they report is due simply to renovate not having brought down submodules, because some crate dependencies are filled by submodule.

Note that the dependency updated in the PR is not related to the submodule, except that cargo commands that process dependencies will fail if any dependencies are not resolvable, which is the case because the submodule has not been checked out.

nerdcash/Nerdbank.Cryptocurrencies#458

I even tried turning on submodule support and asking the PR to 'retry', but it still reports the failure.

Try setting cloneSubmodules=true

Yes! That worked. Thanks.

Seems obvious enough I should have discovered it on my own.
