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.
