In practice, generated files should not be saved to the repository. By
all means, save the script that generates the files, but by putting the
autogenerated files under version control, you are going to create a lot
of work for yourself (when the selection of files changes) and
repository churn (when only the contents change).

It sounds like you need a better build system (so that you always
generate the "correct" files at any given time)...
