grunt-bustr's Issues

version.json should be treated as a build artifact

Every time I run grunt bustr, it modifies a file named version.json next to my Gruntfile. This makes it a build artifact, and I'd like to treat it like my other build artifacts by not checking it into my repository and giving it a line in .gitignore. This prevents meaningless changes from being all over my git history (or, alternatively and still icky, just sitting around in my personal copy of the repo as a land mine to be avoided in all future commits).

But if I git-ignore version.json and do not check it in, bustr refuses to build from a clean repository.
