That is hardly needless nor useless.

Unless you are saying that having a large pdf file as binary is
useless in your history, that is.  After such a merge or squash
merge, you still need to be able to say "git checkout remote" to
check out their version to inspect, and you did not have that
version of the blob before that "git pull".
