That's changing the ssh timeout, not the apache timeout.

There's nothing Mercurial can do to control Apache's behaviour. You
need to configure Apache itself for a longer timeout value (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#timeout)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4646776/apache-cgi-timeout-how-does-it-kill-and-or-notify-the-child
suggests that apache terminates the cgi process and doesn't give it
any chance to clean up, so the answer is probably no if you are using
CGI.
