Question: Should `bindings.rs` be tracked by version control, or ignored?

Couldn't find advice on this in the documentation.

Details

Let's say I initialized a new component project with cargo component new, so I have a tree like this:

  • new-shiny-thing
    • src
      • bindings.rs
      • lis.rs
    • wit
      • ...
    • Cargo.toml
    • ...

Building the project will generate src/bindings.rs.
Should that be tracked by version control, or should it be ignored?

I think either approach would be fine, although it's a generated file and the changes are dependent on the cargo-component version, so ignoring it makes more sense to me.

We can probably add it to the default ignore file depending on the VCS used.
