I'm working with an Umbraco Cloud instance cloned locally in Visual Studio. I'd like to use Git to create local feature branches. The problem is, the .gitignore excludes the database, so every branch shares the same version of the database.

It makes a lot of sense, of course, to ignore the database when pushing to Umbraco Cloud, but it would certainly be nice to be able to support a feature-branching workflow locally.

Any suggestions?
