Long delays due to "git_clone" tasks
0%
Description
Motivation¶
Since some time we have the automatic git clone/refresh/update enabled by default meaning that every job tries to update the git repository that tests and needles come from. This seems to cause sometimes longer delays as reported for example in

@qa-tools I see my tests stuck on State: scheduled, waiting for background tasks (id: 40426976, name: git_clone), created 5 minutes ago for my branch. This is a restart, the previous jobs were stuck for ~2hrs. It’s https://openqa.suse.de/tests/17241161 and the other two parallel job. Another user has reported to having observed longer git clone delays also on personal instances so we should crosscheck if there is something causing unnecessary delays.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: There are no "unreasonably long delays" due to git clone tasks
