robots.txt: disallow access to snapshots
My dmesg is filled with the oom killer bringing down processes while the Bingbot downloads every snapshot for every commit of the Linux kernel in tar.xz format. Sure, I should be running with memory limits, and now I'm using cgroups, but a more general solution is to prevent crawlers from wasting resources like that in the first place.
