git-clone causes out of memory

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.
