Different network topologies/setups will have different failure
modes.
If you want to dig into this I would suggest getting a network capture
(tcpdump -s0) at the time of the problem so we can see exactly at what
level it is timing out. That said I am not sure the crash build
scripts should really have to deal with this kind of things.
Right -- I think I'll just leave it as is (i.e. without -W), and let
it timeout based upon the host machine's setup. It's not that big a
deal, and Jan was happy enough with his 10-second timeout vs. the
annoying 10-minute git command timeout.
