The only time I can think of that the standard client intentionally
stays connected without doing anything is during a commit when it's
waiting for the user to finish editing the log message.  There's also an
interoperability bug between the 1.11.2 server and pre-1.11.2 clients
when using compression (the global -z option) where both the client and
the server wait (forever) for the other side to close the connection
first.
