Subject: git clone takes ages on a slow link

Hi,

I tried cloning a local repository when connected over a slow (1 second+
latency) link. It took forever (I gave up after 10 minutes). If I ran
it in the background it took a few seconds.

I think the ticker is over anxious.

# git clone -l linux-2.6 linux-2.6-test

   5% (1060/19552) done			<---- performance bottleneck
