• tag-empty-blob: a tag that points to a blob

• a;{echo,INJECTION};{echo,RULZ};: GitHub proposes a shell injection to users on a pull request under "You can also merge branches on the command line". #17

• 1970: earliest possible commit with git commit --date '@0 +0000'

• future: commit in the far far future, on some date that does not show as 1970 on git log? See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19742345/what-is-the-format-for-date-parameter-of-git-commit/29289807

• future-max: commit at the latest possible pushable date of 2^63 - 1. Larger dates up to 2^64 - 2 can be committed, but not pushed.

  As of 2015-04-02, that commits will show as the fist one on the UI commit list no matter its order on the commit tree, making it a good way to drive other people mad and then later make them scold you when they understand.
