Surprised no one has mentioned this yet: You can .gitignore node_modules but still manually check in files under node_modules. Git will just ask you to add a -f flag if you really mean to check those in.
We do this for our own private modules. (Actually, what we check into node_modules are just symlinks. Our modules live in their own directories alongside the requiring module.)
