I had to learn svn surgery because someone imported a 1GB archive to test the ol' signed 32 bit file size bug, got yelled at, and deleted it. Well, except it's still in the repository, mate, it's just hidden.

I replaced it with a fixture that was 2GB of space characters, which compressed down to about 3KB. I know there's a canonical file bomb zip file that's under 1K but there's clever and then there's clever.
