I don't have strong opinion here, actually. I thought that the
redundant diff would make it difficult to track Unicode standard updates
in the future from git log. I recently did similar in Gnulib (where
Bruno had been updating the Unicode data more actively) and the backlog
was very helpful to figure out where to look.
However, given that glibc's base Unicode standard is way too old, and
the generator is very small subset of Gnulib's, it might be reasonable
choice to lose the history.
