First, just like the info pages, I don't think it's a problem at all if the autogenerated pdf version is not part of git.git. I sent the patch to provide an easy way to do the pdf generation, not to request the autobuild of it as well. Second, I think the autogeneration for pdf should not be done similar to the man/html versions, as the pdf itself is 421K. However, I'm happy to set up a nightly cron job to build the pdf in case master is updated and/or there is a new release - in case there is demand for that.
