Error: Killing git due to timeout!

[Integralist]

When running :PackerSync, after a while I see:

[packer.nvim] [WARN  12:06:00] jobs.lua:87: Killing git due to timeout!

NOTE: I recently switched my config over from VimScript to Lua and that's when I noticed this issue (it downloaded fine using vim-plug, but now with Lua I'm using Packer). I tried to configure packer to have no clone timeout but I still found it timing out.

It tries for a while to download, but always fails before it completes (usually times out around 70'ish % mark)

This has been brought up before, and I've taken some steps to fix it (removed binaries from the repo and download them as a post-install hook, purging binaries from git's history tree, etc.). I am not sure what else I can do, unfortunately.
