// localconfig modifies the project's IntelliJ config to include project-specific
// settings. This is usually done by checking in the .idea directory, but we do not
// want to do this: it conflicts with the Bazel plugin's way of conducting its
// workspace business, lacks backwards compatibility, and is a common source of
// spurious Git diffs, especially when the IDE/JDK/random plugins are updated and
// team members run different versions.
//
// Instead, we use the officially supported way of shipping IntelliJ Bazel project
// configs - a .bazelproject file that can be imported using the Bazel project
// import wizard, with local configs. We then use this tool to mangle the local
// configs to add additional custom configuration beyond run configurations. This
// avoids merge conflicts and allows us to intelligently handle schema changes.
