Getting GitTimeout when using commit_count on large repository

[rhaamo]

When doing some tests with Grit on my app i've got Grit::Errors::GitTimeout when using commit_count on a large repository (linux-2.6.38 in fact).

Running the command in shell just output a lot of hashes and no stale or stop. Is it a bug or how i can having it to not timeout ? It seems there is a Grit::Git.git_timeout but increasing the timeout if getting the error isn't really possible (and great...).

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :026 > z=Grit::Repo.new('/home/marc/src/linux-2.6.38.y')
 => #<Grit::Repo "/home/marc/src/linux-2.6.38.y/.git"> 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :027 > z.commit_count('master')

Finally found that i need to bump Git.git_max_size, same exception for the two things..

If you're using egit within eclipse go to Window->Preferences->Team->Git and set the timeout to whatever you need.
