Merge branch 'jk/upload-pack-keepalive'
When running "fetch -q", a long silence while the sender side computes the set of objects to send can be mistaken by proxies as dropped connection. The server side has been taught to send a small empty messages to keep the connection alive. * jk/upload-pack-keepalive: upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation

+uploadpack.keepalive::
+ When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
+ quiet period while `pack-objects` prepares the pack. Normally
+ it would output progress information, but if `--quiet` was used
+ for the fetch, `pack-objects` will output nothing at all until
+ the pack data begins. Some clients and networks may consider

+ disables keepalive packets entirely. The default is 5 seconds.
