5 minutes seems to me much better than infinite.

If I have bzr running non-interactively, like, in a cron job (pull and
push operations are likely to end up in cron jobs), I want bzr to fail
and to tell me why if something's wrong instead of running
indefinitely.

If I've left a lock somewhere, with a timeout, I'd get a mail every
morning telling me so, whereas with an infinite timeout, I'd silently
get one more "bzr" process in the background every day.
