The linux kernel does the same thing, and publishes bundle files over CDN[0] for CI systems using a script called linux-bundle-clone[1] [0]: https://www.kernel

  If I read the script correctly, it still points to git.kernel.org however, it seems to use the git bundle technique mentioned in the article.

    git.kernel.org hits one of the frontends based on geographic location. I'm not sure how often it's discussed, but see [1], and also `dig git.kernel.org`.

  This is fascinating, I didn't know they did this. This is actually not using the built in functionality that Git has, they use a shell script that does basically the same thing rather than just advertising the bundle refs. However, the shell script they use doesn't have the bug that I submitted a patch to address - it should have all the refs that were bundled.
