A large repository git push is timing out during "Validating diffs' file paths"
Problem Description
We had a report from a customer that a git push operation for a 200MB repository had been timing out. Output of their git push command is:
git push --verbose --all new-origin
Pushing to codelab.isaracorp.com:chris.herborth/test-big-import.git
