Oops, I misspoke. The gnulib documentation does recommend to put
gnulib-cache.m4 into the repository, but this is only a convenience for
someone who wants to use the --add-import or --remove-import options
and therefore not really necessary. The file that needs to be kept so
that old files don't accumulate as garbage is gnulib-comp.m4.

Sorry for the confusion.
