Hi Dim

just to make sure, as you explicitly write "on an already populated 
clone", does this also happen with a fresh clone?

I think the aggressive repacking between runs is to blame here, as that 
takes away the potential to send a small diff update. I've now reverted 
the aggressive GC and have changed the conversion to run 3x per day per 
repo. (We no longer need the aggressive repack, it was put in place to 
fix something else :)

IOW, please try a fresh clone, and if the future `fetches` to this clone 
continue timing out over the next few days, we can have another look.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Uli
