Right way to add deps when starting REPL from emacs

[didibus]

I tried running inf-clojure and using command clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {org.clojure/math.combinatorics {:mvn/version "0.1.6"}}}' but it fails with:

Error building classpath. Don't know how to create ISeq from: clojure.lang.Symbol

I havn't been able to find a successful way to launch the clojure REPL from inf-clojure but in a way I can pass some additional deps as so. What's the right way to do this?

Probably something's wrong with the quoting of the command that gets executed by Emacs? @dpsutton might be able to help you, as I don't use tools.deps myself.
