Loading a repository may timeout

[just-doit]

What happened?

The timeout occurs when a large repository is being fetched.

My guess is that the stdout pipe fills up before the process finishes. As a result, the process waits for data to be read from the pipe and does not terminate normally.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a larger repository which produces more than 64kB output for git log.
2. wait

Expected behaviour

I would expect the timeout not to occur.

You may want to use this package: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-subprocess.

Thanks for the pointer to swift-subprocess and the Apple Developer Forums thread. Both are exactly the right direction for this code. The pipe-handling and stdin gotchas in GitService.run were already on my radar (we'd been running into EBADF and similar issues), and the right long-term answer is to stop hand-rolling Process and let a proper abstraction handle it.

For now I've shipped a focused fix in #6 that addresses the immediate deadlock. The drain tasks now start before the process wait, so the kernel pipe buffer can't fill and block git. That unblocks anyone hitting it on a large repo today.

In parallel, I've opened #7 as a follow-up to track the migration to swift-subprocess. Your comment is linked there as the source. If you ever want to take that work yourself, the issue is tagged as a good first contribution.

Really appreciate the careful read.
