GitLab uses a custom Git client called Gitaly [0]. > Project Goals > Make the git data storage tier of large GitLab instances, and GitLab.com in particular, fast. [0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly Edit: It looks like Gitaly still spawns git for low level operations. It is probably affected.

Spawning git doesn't mean that it can't just check for a timeout and stop the task with an error. Someone will probably have to actually try an experiment with Gitlab.
