I managed to crash git with ctrl+c. I suspect this is because I caught
it in malloc, which aborted. If that's the case then it might not be
interesting for git developers, but I include the bug report here for
completeness.

I performed a clone, using an existing clone as a reference. I then pressed
ctrl+c a second or so later:

$ git clone --reference linus https://github.com/shenki/linux shenki
^Cgit: malloc.c:2517: sysmalloc: Assertion `(old_top == initial_top (av) &&
old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse
(old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

There was a directory created, but I removed it before thinking it
might be interesting to keep around.

Unfortunately systemd ate the core dump, as I can't find it on my system.
