It wasn't obvious to me either.  But hey, there is the Internet!

I found that this [1] guide (sort of) works.  Minus that the "bundle"
downloaded is not in the actual format we associate the term "git
bundle" with (it's instead just a tar'ed .git directory).  And that for
me, it gets downloaded as an uncompressed tar archive rather than
gzip-compressed (as suggested by the author).

Also, even if you disable JS, you can easily find the `swh:1:snp:…' id
in the source of that SWH page.

Btw, you might consider making the repository publicly cloneable.  Like
putting it on Codeberg or repo.or.cz.

Btw2, I suspect the replicant servers had simply fallen prey to AI
crawlers.  Disabling the web interface on git.replicant.us could help.
And in the long run, it could be reinstated behind some
crawler-stopper.  Even dumb solutions, like mine [2], seem to be still
effective.
