Yeah -- automatically-generated files cause trouble ...
I think it's OK to have such files committed to Git
(in case some system cannot regenerate them)
but it seems like we can reduce the Git noise by committing
foo.in (let's say) for any such file foo. I guess we would
arrange for make to copy foo.in to foo, then attempt to
regenerate it. I think this topic came up not too long ago,
but I don't remember what was the resolution.
