Just a heads-up: If you want to get rid of those "submodule.*.ignore all"

But think twice before you do.
There should be ~no reason to manually change a submodule's reference point.
Well, what happened at least occasionally for me is that I have a
current git master checkout (with submodules), then do
$ git fetch ... && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
to switch to some Gerrit change that I want to modify (that happens to
move submodule references back to older revisions, but I forget to do
`git submodule update`), then do some modifications, and both
$ git status
and
$ git diff
only show the modifications that I made, not the changes to the
submodules, but
$ git add -u && git commit --amend
will make the unintended changes to the submodules end up in the amended
commit, too.
Without that unhelpful "submodule.*.ignore all" configuration, `git
status` and `git diff` would have shown the changes to the submodules
too, and would have told me to be careful with the `git add -u`.
