I thought you already established that simply disabling the progress
display is a sufficient workaround?  If that doesn't help, you can try
patching out all use of SIGALRM within git.

Other than that I agree with Junio, from what we've seen so far, Lustre
returns EINTR on all sorts of calls that simply aren't allowed to do so.
