High disk space usage due to CodeSnapshotCallback saving all git-tracked files

[XinYu-Andy]

Hi, thank you for your well-structured code. I've noticed that each time it runs, it defaults to backing up the code from the current run to the experiment storage files, seemingly excluding the "outputs" folder. However, if I change exp_root_dir in the config file, say, to "exp_results", it causes a loop that stores the results in this folder, leading to an exponential increase in memory usage. Could you advise me on how I should modify the code?

Seems I can manually change .gitignore to avoid it.

@XinYu-Andy Yes the CodeSnapshotCallback saves all git-tracked files (except for load/). This could be a problem, I'll reopen this issue and mark it as "enhancement". Thanks for reporting!

Not sure if this bug has been addressed... can we close it?
