Fixes #16008

Seems like we rather promote a shallow copy instead of touching our git history. This PR puts that in the contributing guides.

IMHO this isn't relevant for most contributors and it will add noise to our docs which are already overloaded with info

This (and the default mkl inclusion by conda) were the main issue when I was in Nairobi. Not everybody has access to a fast internet connection, and not including this disproportionately puts those people in a disadvantage.

Even I've had this issue at home, the internet speed and the github servers around the world are not all the same.

Maybe just remove it from the contributing guide? Its goal is to be as concise as possible and we recently trimmed it down, leaving special cases for other sections

What are the chances of somebody who's reading the contributing guide needing it, compared to somebody who's reading the advanced installation? Doesn't make sense to me to remove it from the contributing guide. If anything, we can remove it from the advanced installation if you want. But I really don't get why you'd argue for not having it.

I think I liked the earlier version a bit better because it makes it possible to copy and paste the full line in one go.

But I'm fine with both.
