There is a tradeoff of course.  Having the generated files mixed in the
commits does make the diff more noisy, and it can be more of a pain in reviews.
One can still just not include the generated files when posting reviews (we
already have to do that because you have to generate the files to do testing).

However, I do think that at least for MFCs we should include the generated
files in the merge so that on stable branches we don't have known-broken
commits once this change is merged back to stable branches.
