The Xtext/Xtend examples do not exclude the generated files form version control (in .gitignore). This makes commits huge and sometimes hard to merge.
What is the reason for adding all generated files to version control?

In the log files, log entries and stack traces refer to the generated .java files (not the .xtend files). Therefore it is much easier to investigate problems in test/production systems if the generated .java files are easily accessible for each version of your application.
(Side note: I never commit the generated files because of the problems you mentioned - but I don't have any production system in Xtend where the quick tracing of problems would be important.)
