Hey, small question regarding timeout and packaging -

When trying to create a flow (based on argo-workflows create) - if our FlowSpec file is in the main dir of our repo - we are getting timeouts.
On the other hand - inserting the exact same file into an empty dir and it succeeds.

It seems like the packing procedure (under the folder of the Flowspec file) is just too heavy to handle in some cases. Is it possible to change the timeout/something else?

Thanks!

firstly, you can check what goes in the package by running
```python myflow.py package list```
or check the size by doing
```python myflow.py package save mypackage.tar
ls -lh mypackage.tar```


it's surprising if the package would be so large just with source code that it would cause timeouts

if you <https://outerbounds.com/docs/package-files-remote-compute/|include other files in the package> with `--package-suffixes` then it might get arbitrarily large. A workaround would be to use `IncludeFile` or some other mechanism to separate the large files from the package

can you check your package size to confirm that it's the issue?
