We recently came across something truly astonishing on GitHub: a single repository holding over 200,000 Git tags. This immense number is so extraordinary that we honestly believe it qualifies for a Guinness World Record.

Interestingly, trying to interact with the tags on this repository can actually cause GitHub to crash. It really highlights the challenges and limitations a platform faces when dealing with such an enormous volume of versions.

This situation offers a fascinating look into the extreme demands placed on repository stability and performance when a project accumulates so many releases.
