pack_remote_repository hangs indefinitely on inaccessible repos

[Pipboyguy]

Description

When using pack_remote_repository (MCP) or --remote (CLI) with an inaccessible repository (non-existent, private, or requiring auth), repomix hangs indefinitely.

Root Cause

execLsRemote in src/core/git/gitCommand.ts has no timeout and doesn't set GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0. Git waits for credential input that never comes in non-interactive contexts.

Reproduce

npx repomix --remote https://github.com/user/nonexistent-repo

Expected

Fail with error after reasonable timeout.

Fix

const result = await deps.execFileAsync('git', ['ls-remote', ...], {
  timeout: 30000,
  env: { ...process.env, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT: '0' }
});

Apply to all git commands in gitCommand.ts.

I found a similar issue that might be helpful:

• --remote from private repo via SSH #392 - --remote from private repo via SSH - Discusses authentication challenges when accessing private repositories with the --remote option. The proposed fix in this issue (setting GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0) would help handle auth failures gracefully for both public inaccessible repos and private repos.

This might provide additional context for the authentication-related aspects of this issue.
