The problem I've run into with this is that those files stay in the history. Your git clones will get ridiculous, and you'll blast through any git repo size limits that you might have.

I just want my files to match what's expected when I pull a commit, that doesn't require some literal "commit build system" and "pull build system". Coming from perforce and SVN, I can't comprehend why git it so popular, beyond cargo cult. It's completely nonsensical to think that software is just source.
