For my modules, I simply don’t keep generated files in source control. As you
say, it’s pointless.

`distclean` runs `distcheck`? WHU?
I have used `realclean` for, oh, probably a decade now. Definitely better. I
also have this Git alias to get rid of all superfluous files:
[alias]
cl = clean -dfx
So `git cl` does its thing. Must be some way to do that in SVN, too. I noticed
a lot of generated files there were obviously not svn:ignored.
Best,
