Bug Description

We've had a few instances of network glitches causing mirrored branches on a particular host to time out, and if the puller ends up trying to pull lots of branches from the one host at once, the puller clogs up.

One "fix" would be to have a separate puller process for mirrored branches again, which would let mirrored branches rot in their own corner and let hosted branches be processed normally.

More outlandish schemes involve scaling timeouts in various ways to fail branches more quickly most of the time.
