Che-theia fails to import projects if one is located in a sub path of another

[sunix]

Describe the bug

In a devfile, where one project is supposed to be cloned in a subpath of another project, in some (random?) case, the parent one is not cloned (considered as existing?)

apiVersion: 1.0.0
metadata:
  generateName: che-test-clone-subfolders-
projects:
  - name: che-theia
    source:
      location: 'https://github.com/eclipse/che-theia.git'
      type: git
    clonePath: theia/che-theia
  - name: theia
    source:
      location: 'https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia.git'
      type: git

Che version

• latest
• nightly
• other: please specify

Steps to reproduce

1. create a workspace out of the devfile above.

che-theia is cloned in /projects/theia/che-theia. Missing content of theia.

Expected behavior

theia should be cloned as well.

Additional context

This could be required by #18763

@sunix the project is not cloned by the generator ?

[sunix]

yes but let's say you want to share a devfile with a specific fork/branch of che-theia it doesn't work
