AFAICT this is impossible in that git submodules are broken
(checking out a different commit in the top level repo doesn't
check out the correct version of the submodule to go with it).
We put up with it for our current uses of submodules because
the submodule contents don't change very often...

I agree that checking generated files into git is a bad idea
if we can avoid it.
