Sockets may never receive notification of some link errors,
causing "git fetch" or similar processes to hang forever.
Enabling keepalive messages allows hung processes to error out
after a few minutes/hours depending on the keepalive settings of
the system.

This is a problem noticed when running non-interactive
cronjobs to mirror repositories using "git fetch".
