It would be unusual for a build process to make automated changes that are then checked into a revision control system.

If all the outputs from the build process can be derived from the inputs then no new information is generated and there is no need to store the outputs - they can be regenerated from the original inputs as required. For our build a key step is to obtain the input files from the revision control system, then build the outputs into a completely clean context. That is, we start with an empty folder, check everything that is required out into that context, then build the outputs we require.
