Tully Foote commented on JENKINS-11286: --------------------------------------- Q3. At some point it does need to timeout. We've found hung polling threads which were 2 weeks old from when our git repo had some downtime. And until this is released, does anyone have a suggested way to clear these hung polling threads? I ended up rebooting the slaves which was obviously overkill, but did clear the jobs. > Git plugin does not timeout > --------------------------- > > Key: JENKINS-11286 > URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11286 > Project: Jenkins > Issue Type: Bug > Components: git > Reporter: recampbell > Assignee: Karol Depka Pradzinski > > We are seeing hung git processes which seem to be left over from when Jenkins > is using Git to poll for changes.
