Description

I was stuck with this problem for a long time. >_<

Is it possible to disable timeout ? I try to set clone_timeout to nil but still timeout at 60s.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the git clone timeout implementation in packer.nvim, specifically the clone timeout configuration and how it is applied. Identify where the timeout occurs and why setting clone timeout to nil does not disable it. Then propose a patch to either allow disabling timeout via configuration or improve the error message to guide users on how to adjust the timeout.
