You should be able to edit the generated file right now. Just generate 
it, commit the generated file, then edit the generated file and commit that.

It would be a pain because there would typically be two different 
records of the edit in the committed files, and these records could 
easily go out of sync. Changing history is plenty confusing enough 
already; having dueling histories would make it even more confusing.
