Thanks for providing the debug output!

So since the issue does stem from a large distance between branches
and hitting network communication limits maybe an effective workaround
would be to maintain a local clone of the upstream repo (in a separate repo)
and using a file:// URL pointing to that repo for the origin remote in your
working repo?

The upstream clone must be on the same machine, so it's more overhead,
but file:// should be reliable.

HTTP, regardless of version, is really inappropriate for applications.
