None of the above. You likely saved the target of the ‘foo.pdf’ 
link, which is an HTML file:

 $ curl -LO 
 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/talks/bio-it-world-2018/talk.2018-05-16.pdf
 $ file talk.2018-05-16.pdf
 talk.2018-05-16.pdf: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long 
 lines

Saving this as ‘foo.pdf’ will still be an HTML file.

The ‘plain’ link on the right serves the raw PDF file:

 $ curl -LO 
 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/plain/talks/bio-it-world-2018/talk.2018-05-1-6.pdf
 $ file talk.2018-05-16.pdf 
 talk.2018-05-16.pdf: PDF document, version 1.5

Kind regards,
