[chef] git resource, additional arguments?

[Jesse Campbell < >]

I was checking out the git resource for deploying some code...
My current workflow utilizes git hooks that are stored inside the
repo, so when cloning, I pass in a git_repo_template as an argument to
git:
/usr/bin/git clone --template=/local/git_repo_template
ssh://
 /repository

anyone used repo templates before or know how to convince git to use a
template using the git resource? Will I need to extend it? There is an
svn_arguments option, but don't see an equivalent for git...

Thanks!
