Timeout for large git repos

I went through this documentation and modified the Apache config to reflect it (I inherited the server from a previous admin and it was missing some parts of that example).

The config now looks like this:

<VirtualHost host.example.com:443>

    ServerName host.example.com
    ServerAlias host.example.com

    ## serve static files by Apache, recommended for performance
    ProxyPass /_static !
    Alias /_static /home/rhodecode/.rccontrol/community-1/static
    <Directory /home/rhodecode/.rccontrol/community-1/static/>
        AllowOverride none
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

    ## channelstream websocket handling
    ProxyPass /_channelstream ws://localhost:9800
    ProxyPassReverse /_channelstream ws://localhost:9800

    <Proxy *>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    # Directive to properly generate url (clone url) for RhodeCode
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    SetEnv proxy-sendchunked 1

    # Url to running RhodeCode instance. This is shown as `- URL:` when
    # running rccontrol status.
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:10002/ timeout=7200 Keepalive=On
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:10002/

Sadly, it doesn’t make any difference. The cloning still times out after exactly 5 minutes.
