That's definitely weird.
My guess is that the repository has some .gitattributes set up to diff
pdf files in a particular way, and you have some matching config that
tries to call pdftotext.
What does:
git config --list | grep ^diff
say? I'd expect to see an external or textconv option there running
pdftotext.
Another option is that your pager is somehow set up to call pdftotext,
but that seems much more nonsensical to use the tool there (but try "git
var GIT_PAGER" and "git config pager.log" to check).
