Hi,  
despite I have 120mn defined in clone&fetch behaviour, on a mutibranch project with big git repo the output always shows timeout=10. So the scan multibranch fails everytime with “ERROR : Timeout after 10 minutes”  
and “Could not fetch branches from source .. Finished branch indexing. Indexing took 10 mn”  
Thanks for any solution or suggestion

Answer my own question : to force the clone/checkout timeout to something different than default 10mn, I used the command in the script console of the controler :

```auto
System.setProperty("org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.Git.timeOut", "120")

restart jenkins and that's all
```
