FYI i would support replacing the .fig files in git with .svgs
which will avoid the extra conversion step. The .fig stuff is just
too anachronistic to be worth worrying about.
Actually, I think that is the right way to go instead of just removing
this rule. Because if we ever change a *.fig file we have to remember to
regenerate the corresponding .png file. And then we can drop .png files
from our repos.
