I wouldn't bother.
- Git is for all plain sources.
- A distribution tarball should contain all files from git plus
auto-generated ones. This is intended for users who just want to
build wireshark without doing modifications to the auto-generated
files. If wanted, they could still regenerate autogenerated files.
autotools should be able to generate that tarball, I am not so sure
about cmake.
Developers build WS from git anyway and should have the tools ready to
generate files. If the tools are not available, then that part can
simply be disabled. That would save compile time too :-)
Kind regards,
