I also avoid adding binary files to git repositories since they tend to make the repo really big in a short time (there's no delta compression etc). One workaround is to create a new branch to commit those pdfs and once in a while (say once per year) delete and recreate the 'pdf' branch. In essence the 'pdf' branch becomes more of a storage space rather than revision control. > -- Will Leo
