Is there anyway to make Google Drive's control version system work with PDF files?
I tried to link a Google drive folder with ocamlfuse (Cent OS) to a Github repository but then git is extremely slow to do anything.

Do you have any other idea?
Thanks

It probably depends on what is inside these PDFs. A lot of PDFs created from text files are no different than a text file - you can open it with Notepad. But many PDFs are binary files, and (probably) Google does not know how to "diff" these files as to show differences.
