I hope and expect that GitHub has the basic infrastructure to monitor excessive processes and kill them.

Wouldn't that just do a `git fetch` and therefore not have the issue?

  "Download ZIP" downloads the repository’s files as a zip. No Git involved for the downloader.

    i expect the download zip to be implemented as running 'git archive --format zip | write-http-response-stream'

      Hmm I'd hope they do a caching step in between ;)

Scratches head ...I clicked Download a few seconds ago. GitHub is still thinking. :/ Edit: After about a minute I got a pink unicorn.
