You can leave out Cakephp from the app repo. But if you want to use submodule,
there are a few options, this is how I do it for 2.x based project:

- initialize your skeleton project. This is where you do your work.

/path/to/Console/cake bake project foo
cd foo
git init
git add -A
git commit

- setup a submodule for cake in Vendor

git submodule add git://github.com/cakephp/cakephp Vendor/cakephp

So, CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH will be foo/Vendor/cakephp/lib. So you would need
to adjust foo/Config/bootstrap and foo/Console/cake so that it knows where to look.

Or just don't put cake in your repo at all. And tell your 'foo' project the location
of Cake. There are a few ways of doing this:
* setup cake in php.ini include_path (not recommended, since it will be difficult to run
different versions of cake easily)
* create a symlink from your project, eg: foo/../lib/Cake -> /path/to/cake/lib/Cake

Note:

When working with submodules, I recomment to use a recent git. Quite a few improvements
were added to ease its management.

For 3.x, the recommended way of doing this will be with composer.
