No, we can't assume anything. I probably should add this to C Git too. I think its the logical name and units, e.g `git daemon --timeout=` already exists and takes seconds as the unit. I wrote this series because I have a case where the remote server is sometimes not sending packets out... and the client just blocks. git fetch has the same issue. Doing git fetch or jgit fetch from a cron against this server causes the fetch processes to just pile up indefiniately. :-( -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
