Subject: Request: timeout option for remote operations, esp. "git fetch"
Message-ID: <527BC8DC.7010108@zytor.com>

When a remote server is unavailable or very slow, some git commands can
stall out indefinitely.  It would be a very good thing if remote
commands -- but especially git fetch -- could be given a timeout.
