From 115dedd72223e101181363f4e6053b4c937fdc37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2013 05:02:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default. They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing progress and resetting the keepalive timer. We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of 5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider the connection hung.
