GitLab CI/CD

accroding to docs:
Configuring runners | GitLab

my gitlab version is v14.4.0(community)，my runner version is gitlab-runner:alpine-v14.10.1(k8s type)
when I use this config

  variables:
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
    GIT_SUBMODULE_PATHS: solo-deploy

It can work and just sync solo-deploy

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

when I use this config

  variables:
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
    GIT_SUBMODULE_PATHS: apis

It can work and just sync apis

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

but when I use this config, it can’t work and report error: pathspec 'apis solo-deploy' did not match any file(s) known to git, I don’t know why, QAQ

  variables:
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
    GIT_SUBMODULE_PATHS: apis solo-deploy

this is .gitmodules file

[submodule "apis"]
	path = sudo-apis
	url = ../../weixy/apis
[submodule "scripts/odbc_drivers"]
	path = scripts/odbc_drivers
	url = ../../sgkzr/odbc_drivers
[submodule "scripts/cicd_scripts"]
	path = scripts/cicd_scripts
	url = ../../sudo/cicd-scripts.git
[submodule "privmesh"]
	path = privmesh
	url = ../../community/privmesh
[submodule "solo-deploy"]
	path = solo-deploy
	url = ../../yuzj/solo-deploy

and I find most relative gitlab 14.10 docs
https://archives.docs.gitlab.com/14.10/ee/ci/git_submodules.html，

seem it can’t support GIT_SUBMODULE_PATHS，but when I just config one submodule，it can work.

I find the reason:

although this MR has been merged into runner 14.0 three years agon，but it have bug, can just support one submodule：

so, 9 months ago, this MR merged in to 15.6 to fix it：

so I upgrade my runner to 15.6 then fix this problem
