IMNSHO, anything in the .egg-info directory should be considered a derived file, and therefore NOT placed under version control (we don't check in .o / .so / .dll files either). If some tool can't recreate the files it needs on demand in that directory, that would be a bug in that tool (or perhaps the mode in which it is invoked).
