> While some responsibility should be on the user

User should always be responsible before downloading pdf, excel and its macros. There are so many way things can get infected..

When you clone a git repo, do you check whether there are PDFs in it?

Critical difference is that PDF is a data file, while a git.exe is an executable marked to the OS as executable.
