CMake Git inactivity timeout

CMake Git operations such as shallow clone can cause unexpected failures due to too small INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT in ExternalProject or FetchContent. Be sure to set INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT to a large enough value. 15 seconds is too short a timeout for Git shallow clone, for example. Consider 60 seconds or larger INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT.

Check for timeout in:

git config --get http.lowSpeedLimit
git config --get http.lowSpeedTime

lowSpeedLimit might be set to 1000 (bits/second) or as appropriate for the network. If lowSpeedTime is too short, this download failure can also occur. Set to 60 seconds or more.
