Reasons for making this change

  • db-forest-config.xml stores the IntelliJ Database tool window tree state (which data source nodes are expanded, and in what order) — per-developer UI state that churns on every expand/collapse, exactly like the already-ignored workspace.xml.
  • Its payload tracks developer's local-only connections, so committing the file might push dangling references into every teammate's IDE.
