too much code generators?

Typically you'd check in generated code; you'd exclude packages, compiled code, certain kinds of configuration and logs, etc.

Do you typically check in generated code? I think it depends on a lot of things. My understanding is the general rule of thumb is NOT to, except for certain cases (generation takes a long time, for instance)

Well, in the VS world generated code is typically generated once and open to modification post-generation, so yes.
