This is very much a needed feature when dealing with self-hosted runners, caches, monorepos, etc.
Updated #1400 to the latest version of actions/checkout, resolving all conflicts and making it ready to merge.

* Add support for reference repository parameter

Hi any progress here? We would really like to get this into the action for use on self hosted runners

Also including our interest in having this for self hosted runners with large repos

Bumping this PR. It would greatly benefit certain monorepo workflows.

We have implemented an Action internally to support reference clones that essentially has to reimplement the portions of actions/checkout we care about; it would be nice for this to just be a built in feature.

With the introduction of custom runner images, this is even more desireable now, since this type of workflow can be achieved on GitHub-hosted runners now too, not just self-hosted runners.
