I have configured a new Project Build in Jenkins with Git as the code source. The repository is a huge one with lots of branches and tags. The Jenkins build fails with this error.

I think it is because since the source code is huge, it is taking more than 10 minutes to checkout, and it timeout by 10minutes.
How to change this default behavior?
