   > Maybe just leave `gitextractor` running, and ignore its output ? Can we do like this?
   
   It is one way to go... however, It is not reliable, there is a chance that too many Git Clone operations are stuck in the background and eating out the system file descriptors.
   
   I prefer the following options:
   - Get rid of the `git2go` and use the `gogit` only which supports `context`. `git2go` has always been problematic since it depends on the `libgit2` C library. However, doing so would require a huge rewrite.
   - Find a way for `git2go` to support cancellation, I found interesting discussion of the topic, it might be possible to add cancellation support for `git2go`
