When you do so, it stores new configuration in backup and moves old configuration from backup to archive. On host, where I use lvm snapshots for every-day backup, I see many of such archives.
Lets see what is backup files: that's just a _copy_ of metadata, which could be used in some rear cases. E.g. you lost all your lvm's metadata. Or to restore the same partitioning on new, replaced drive. Do we need history for it? Yes (e.g. to restore suddenly deleted volume), but lvm tracks enough copies of old metadata in archive dir. So keeping them in git don't needed. And finally cache dir is for temp file where lvm stores some runtime cache (to not rescan all physical volumes every time user calls lvm).

I'd looked at it once more. May be you're right. In most cases it would be autogenerated, but sometimes there really may be local modifications.
