Description
git/utils system passes a timeout to vim.system however that timeout is not handled and reported to the user in a friendly manner. It silently stops git operations.
Discovered during #3251 which is hackily resolved by passing the timeout to :wait.
The following are the only users of system and should handle timouts in the same manner as GitRunner:
-
should_show_untracked -
get_toplevel

Research direction
Start with git/utils system and compare timeout handling with GitRunner. Trace its two listed users, should_show_untracked and get_toplevel, and review how vim.system timeouts currently behave. Done means both callers report timed-out git operations to the user in the same manner as GitRunner.
