Clarify when keep_git_dir should be used #744

Open verdurin opened 2 years ago

In the Writing Easyconfig Files page, it's not immediately clear when keep_git_dir should be used.

Either an example should be given, or a bit more explanation, or both.

One example where this is useful is when installing a python package directly from a git repo. The .git directory is then needed for meta data.
