I am puzzled. Why should it take so long for the server side to communicate
with the client? Is the server doing a diff between the two branches looking
for changes before the client side is given a potential change to its working
directory. If so, dependant on the size of the repository and the speed of
the server this could take an arbitary length of time. Should not the server
at least tell the client every so often - "yes I am still working on it -
haven't found any changes for you yet" ? Expecting client side configuration
for a timeout seems wrong for this (it was about 2 minutes - for 120MB
repository [Working copy is 200+MB - but I using the deflate option])

Are you saying that the client should also be 0.14.5 to solve this problem (my
server already is)?
