Best practices for version control of OpenStudio Measures

What are your best practices for version control of OpenStudio Measures? For example, I'd like to avoid all the XML file diffs that result whenever the OpenStudio Application opens the local My Measures folder.

Some ideas...

  1. Use a .gitignore file
  2. Use separate folders, e.g. development or published
  3. Use a separate repository
  4. Use a Git submodule (nested repository)
