In a perfect world, no. This was done so that platform not having the
doc generation tool
can still be able to read the doc in txt form. A side-effect of having a
file both in git and 
generated is that git will refuse to rebase due to a non clean directory
following a make.

The doc generation is disabled by default, so this should not happen
often. I think the patch you
have submitted is the best one can do under the circumstances.
