intellijidea - settingsRepository

[gtalarico]

The path for intellij has a nested git submodule.
When this directory is backed up and then added to repo user than has to decide to remove/ignore it or add it as a git submodule.
Adding it was a problem because cause my backup git repo to exceed max GH file size.

I am wondering how other folks are handling this, and if this particular path should be excluded or handled differently somehow.
