Suggestion: Ignore settings_data.json setting

[QuintinS]

A suggestion: A setting in the gruntfile that ignores the settings_data.json and doesn't upload it to the site if changes to it are detected.

I see there is an option for this on the upload command, but don't see a similar setting for the watch command.

You can use the upload_patterns filter to exclude this. Haven't tested it myself but using globbing patterns in grunt you can exclude the file.

upload_patterns: ['assets/*.*','config/*.*','layout/*.*','locales/*.*','snippets/*.*','templates/*.*','templates/customers/*.*', '!settings_data.json']

Let me know if that doesn't work any I'll set a flag but I'd prefer this approach.
