This is a problem for gdb as well.

Probably we should switch to some kind of pull-request model, where
patches can only be landed via the UI, after sufficient review; and
where all generated files are regenerated by the robot before checkin.
(Or alternatively some CI runs and rejects patches where they don't
match.)
