Yes, I know!

So, quite a lot of files seem to set generated-autoload-file to
loaddefs.el which seems a bit odd (since it's the default). Of the rest,
it looks like dired, rmail, reftex and eieio do this (esh-groups.el
is pure autoload -- is not versioned).
I am not sure why only reftex.el causes me problems -- why not the
others, I wonder?
Also, the changed line is actually this...
>> +;;;### (autoloads nil "reftex-auc" "reftex-auc.el"
>> "7c0e0b46919f4ceefe1026e31e73ebcd")
which is a comment. I don't know what this line does in the autoload
process.

I was thinking more generally. Having files which are generated in
versioning is never great (c.f. issues with ChangeLog).
