There's a gitbomb on github. It is undoubtedly creative and funny, but since
this is a bug in git, I thought it'd be nice to report. The command:

What fills memory is actually the checkout part of the command. git
clone -n doesn't fail.

Credit should go where it's due: https://kate.io/blog/git-bomb/
(with the bonus that it comes with explanations)
