Is the problem related some tools and network protocols? Which?

An alternative would be to configure the tool (git, svn, curl etc) specific
settings, or even the default socket timeouts on the running system.

I've seen this kind of problems too, but I'm not sure this task timeout is the
correct way to solve it. Time is too relative :)
