Subject: Request: git fetch --timeout
Message-ID: <5092F0C2.1090802@zytor.com>

Right now, there are events which can cause git fetch to hang forever.
This is really problematic in automatic use.

A git fetch --timeout which would exit with a nonzero exit code if no
forward progress is made would be really helpful.
