Subject: git-clone causes out of memory
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 12:51:58 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <515b1400-4053-70b0-18e2-1f61ebc3b2d7@yandex.ru> (raw)
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:
$ git clone https://github.com/x0rz/ShadowBrokersFiles
quickly fills out the RAM (e.g. 4GB of free memory for me). To recover,
call oom-killer through Alt+SysRq+f, then switch to a TTY and back.
Git version: 2.14.2
P.S.: I am not subscribed to the ML, acc. to
https://git-scm.com/community I will be added to CC.
