clone failed: unknown option 'also-filter-submodules'

[ziutech]

Describe the bug
After install, every plugin has error 'clone failed', see screenshots.

Which version of Neovim are you using?
v0.8.1

Steps to reproduce

-- init.lua 
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git",
    "clone",
    "--filter=blob:none",
    "--single-branch",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
    lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

local plugins = require("user.plugins") -- table of strings "<user>/<repo>"
local opts = {}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, opts)

Screenshots

some plugins don't show the error

I think --also-filter-submodules is only available on git versions 2.36 and newer.

git/git@f05da2b

What version of git are you using. The option --also-filter-submodules was added in version 2.36.0. (released 2022-04-18)

I had this issue too. Updating to a newer git version ^2.36.0 solves the problem for me.

[tannerellen]

I updated git and it resolved this issue for me as well. On Ubuntu...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install git

That will bring you to 2.39.0

I just removed that option. It's not really needed, since almost no plugin has submodules.
