They are part of the source and binary release zips/tar. I guess another option 
is to not have these files at all in the releases then there also no chance 
they will be incorrect.

IMO any non binary item in the source release should be under version control 
so we have a history of how it how changed - just because it's generated 
doesn't mean you don't want to know how it changed from release to release - it 
may not always be directly obvious from the generating template and build 
scripts.

Because it gets checked in before the release is tagged.

Again you could accidentally make a release with "0" as the build number (quite 
easy to do/seen quite a few time - not 100% why it happens) so best IMO to have 
this file under version control.

Thanks,
