Thanks!

What do you mean by "republish"? Do you mean "cause a rebuild"? The
files generated by CMake should, generally, not be put into source
control. If you mean "rebuild", only the header generation code needs to
really not put the version into the file. The version in generated
build.ninja, Makefiles, and CPack-related files shouldn't be a problem.
