Please keep in mind that these mails appear in people's crowded inboxes, where a subject line can provide valuable context.

From the In-Reply-To field, it looks like you're responding to [1] ("submodule: add verbose mode for add/update"), from 2014. Have you tested that patch? Does it apply to current Git? Has it been working well for you?

For your application, it sounds like having a timeout (plus Git's existing support for retries when fetching submodules) would help. Am I understanding correctly?

Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
