[guardian-dev] git submodule trick

If you're tired of seeing these entries in your 'git status' due to
generated files in the submodules:

# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
#   (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
#
#       modified:   external/openssl (untracked content) <-- hate this!

Edit .git/config and add the marked line below:

[submodule "external/openssl"]
    url = https://github.com/guardianproject/openssl-android.git
    ignore = untracked # <--- add this line

This requires git >= 1.7.2

cheers!
