+git-annex has stall detection, but it's not enabled by default, because how
+slow a "stall" is can vary quite a bit. Setting annex.stalldetection would
+probably help.

+Plenty of http clients can stall out if there's a network problem. For
+example, wget that and pull the ethernet cable; you'll see wget hang for at
+least as long as it took me to write this comment. Since it's just waiting
+for a read, it will block until the TCP connection closes, and situations can
+cause dead TCP connections to not close for a long time.
