I agree that the repository should only contain source files, not the output of the build process. However, in some cases (like icon images) the source files may be binary. I think small binaries that are required to build and/or run the software, and that are not an output of any build process, do make sense to put in the repository.
I'd rather just use SVGs for the icons.
That's not really responding to their point. Are you saying that there are no project resources that aren't (or couldn't be) encoded as text representation in any conceivable project that is stored in a git repo?
I agree with your general point. I'm just curious if you have some unique project pattern techniques that allow you to draw such a hard line so confidently.
