Subject: [PATCH] fix: stop tracking a node_modules symlink that .gitignore
 could not see

`node_modules/` in gitignore matches a directory. A worktree's
`node_modules -> /home/kartios/repos/gitea/tera/node_modules` is a
file, so e5b9339 committed it. Fast-forwarding master onto that
commit replaced the real install with a self-symlink (Too many
levels of symbolic links) and npm ci had to rebuild it.

Ignore the name, not only the directory, and drop the blob.
