Feature request: clone repository into Docker volume with `devcontainer up`

Right now it seems the only way to start a dev container is to have cloned a repository and then pass the --workspacefolder to each invocation of devcontainer.
Would it be possible to add a feature that clones a repository in a Docker volume or uses an existing repository that was cloned in a Docker volume to run devcontainer commands on?
