this is true, but honestly, so what ?  if you're a dev and diving into the
source to do some hacking, nowadays you're going to first find the upstream
vcs and get a checkout.

if you really want to ship a generated file for tarball punters, then i have
no problem with that as long as it's disconnected from the development process.

i don't think we should be holding back our developers to support the oddball
cases that are already way better served doing it the right way (i.e. git).
