Can we apply deployment event condition to part of `clone` in `.drone.yml`? If not, could we have this feature?

I have matrix setting in `.drone.yml`, it will trigger more than 20 builds every time with new commit. So I’d like to control it via deployment event.

I did that for pipeline steps, works well, but doens’t work for `clone`

```
clone:
  git:
    image: plugins/git
    path: bitbucket.org/orig/project-1
    when:
      branches: [master, feature/*]
      event: deployment
      environment: ["apply", "destroy”]

pipeline:
…

matrix:
  env:
    - development
    - staging
application:
   - app-1
   - app-2
   ....

```

Then this commit always stay as pending status, I click the build job, always `loading`.
