If html files, or any other files for that matter, are auto-generated then why are they included in the repo? The reason I ask because this difference in boostbook version causes a lot of extraneous noise when I do a git status. Instead of the three html files I was expecting to be modified when I changed a qbk file there are 153 extra html files that show up as modified.

For many libraries they aren't. It's up to the library maintainer how they're managed. What you can do is rebuild the documentation from a clean checkout and commit that, then later edits shouldn't result in so many changes.
