Deploying a git branch together with its submodule from Github to Heroku

I am in reference to Heroku's deployment from Github feature that allows you to deploy from a Github branch to Heroku. See: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration

I would like to know if I can deploy from a github project that includes a git submodule?

If so what are the necessary steps other that running the submodule command below on my project?

git submodule add git://github.com/whomsoever/whatever.git

It seems I have found the answer to my question and unfortunately it does not seem possible to achieve what I want i.e. to deploy a github repo that uses submodules...

To quote the official Heroku documentation (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/github-integration#git-submodules):

GitHub repos that use submodules will generally not deploy correctly on Heroku. This is because GitHub does not include submodule contents when repo-content tarballs are generated.
