Completely agree on this point. We auto-generate those two files in
particular as a means for us to export data from our revision
control system (specifically data which is not normally represented
in the file content under revision control) such that it can be
conveyed within a tarball that would otherwise lack the relevant
context to derive it.

Some teams do hand-create those files instead and check them into
revision control, but could of course continue to do so in Git repos
of Go code as well with no real change to their usual process.
