The ASN.1 dissector generation hasn't been considered ready for "prime 
time" yet (or at least that's what I heard a while ago).  As such, the 
(generated) ASN.1 dissector code is checked into source control.

A side effect of this is that if modify the ASN.1 source, you need to do 
make the 'copy_files' target (in the ASN.1 dissector's directory) to get 
the dissector generated and copy it into epan/dissectors/ .
