Why would you commit your generated sources at all? And if you do, why
would you push them to the public repo?

If you chose to commit the generated sources, then you should do so in a
private branch that never gets published. You would cherry-pick non-src
commits from that branch to a feature branch that you then publish for
public consumption. That way the generated sources do not end up in the
public repo.

This is one advantage of git over svn: "commit" does not mean "publish",
you still have to "push". You can have as many branches on your own machine
as you like.
