Make a note for users of .dotfiles repos #198

When setting up a dotfiles repo, it is typical for the entire contents of the .vim directory to be added into the .dotfiles git repo. Having the pathogen plugins clones as nested repositories is problematic in this case and we need to instead set them up as git submodules.

@tpope please merge or close?

The existing copy already references submodules. Are you trying to make it more prominent? I don't think putting NOTE: in backticks is the best way to achieve that.
