Timeout when cloning Git repository

[Babbleshack]

I am experiencing a timeout issue while cloning our Git repository from the app-set controller and repo-server. The error message I receive is as follows:

error generating params from git: error getting directories from repo: error retrieving Git Directories: rpc error: code = Internal desc = unable to checkout git repo [email protected]:XXXXXX/XXXXXX.git with revision XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: failed to initialize repository resources: rpc error: code = Internal desc = Failed to fetch default: `git fetch origin --tags --force --prune` failed timeout after 1m30s

For context, cloning the repository locally takes around 95 seconds.

To address the timeout I tried setting reposerver.git.request.timeout" = "3m".

I verified these setting were correctly configured by investigating environment variables on the deployed repo-server pods:

$ kubectl exec deployments/argo-cd-argocd-repo-server -c repo-server -- env | grep TIMEOUT
ARGOCD_GIT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT=3m
ARGOCD_RECONCILIATION_TIMEOUT=180s

Despite these changes, the logs still indicate timeout messages suggesting that the timeout remains at 1m30s.

Are there additional configs I must change to increase the git clone timeout?

The timeout for a git fetch is controlled by ARGOCD_EXEC_TIMEOUT because the git fetch is execed and the git client isn't used. It isn't clear in the docs that this is the case. Would you mind creating an issue or even submitting a PR to help update the docs?

Awesome thanks for this. I will do a PR soon.
