Here is what I propose to you:

• remove the generated files from git
  

• add to git the "reference" of these files along with a test script (sh, python, perl, ...) which can then compare (or other) the generated files with the expected "reference" files to enable you to detect any problem.

The advantage of having a script to detect problems is that it can be documented (in its header for example) and run by anybody who thinks there is a problem.

for example copy Gda-5.0.gir to libgda/gir ? And then a script to check diffs?

Yes, for example create a libgda/girtest to store the expected GIR file (managed using git), let the build mechanism create the GIR file in libgda/, and then have a script in libgda/girtest (also managed by git) which compares (or does other tests) the two GIR files after compilation (maybe executed when "make check" is run).

Thanks,
