Timeout with git clone

[Quentin Wenger]

Digging a bit deeper:

- The changeset that you linked (https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea/changeset/034e4fe1ebb2#rhodecodelibsubprocessiopy_n127) actually shows that historically it went the other way round, that is at first dulwich's server was used but then considered "buggy", therefore the implementation was replaced by some custom code.

- That custom code looks like coming from https://github.com/dvdotsenko/git_http_backend.py. That repo hasn't been updated since 2012, neither do its forks show any sign of recent activity.

- In contrast, dulwich, while officially still in beta, is actively developed.

IMhO the proper move would be to go back to dulwich. Chances are that those buggy things have been fixed in the last ten years. And if they haven't, better report them upstream than reinvent the wheel. By the way, do we have any more precise idea of what was considered buggy at the time?

What do you think?
