Refs https://github.com/JabRef/jabref-issue-melting-pot/issues/504

I finally found a "solution" for the git submodule issue (posted at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66773544/git-submodule-not-ignored-even-with-ignore-all/79176853#79176853). -- Background: I was about to file a bug against lazygit, but then I found out that git add -A ignores the ignore = all setting. After some googling, I found the solution to use git update-index --assume-unchanged {sub-module-path}.

This PR adds this to the documetation.

Mandatory checks
