title: Clone huge 16 GB Git repo with Eclipse Neon
body: <p><strong>Is there any way I can clone a huge Git repository (16+ GB) using the Git integration of latest Eclipse Neon?</strong></p>
  <p>I'm cloning by <strong>HTTP connection</strong>.</p>
  <p>First, I ran into timeouts, but then increased the <em>Remote connection timeout</em> to 1800 seconds in Eclipse config.</p>
  <p>Then the cloning almost completed, but at the very end it always fails telling me <em>Premature EOF</em>.</p>
  <p>I have increased the <code>http.postBuffer</code> to 524288000 also (as many users suggested on StackOverflow), but this was not much of a help.</p>
  <p>I also tried cloning the <code>master</code> branch only, but again, I was stuck with the same error message.</p>
  <p>Is EGit not capable of handling such a big repo over HTTP?</p>
