Are the generated C files perfectly identical? If you use Cython to compile the same file twice, will you always get a byte-for-byte identical file? If so, it should be safe to check them in, and then have a "make regenerate" that wipes out all Cython-generated files and rebuilds them. That followed by "git status" would immediately tell you if something failed to get checked in.
