[BUG] `npm install` started to hang on "still idealTree buildDeps" for 60 seconds if there are dependencies pointing to specific gitlab repository url (a regres

### Is there an existing issue for this? - [X] I have searched the existing issues See https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/1991#issuecomment-853984404 ### Current Behavior `npm install` in a fresh project with an explicit `git+ssh` dependency on a gitlab repo ([minimal example](https://gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue)) takes 60+ seconds, seemingly it waits for some random network timeout before proceeding the installation. ### Expected Behavior `npm install` should take 2-3 seconds to install dependencies of the project in [minimal example](https://gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue) like it did in npm `v6`. ### Steps To Reproduce See https://gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue I reproduced this hang in `Ubuntu 20.04` with npm `7.15.1` as well as `MacBook Pro 2019` with npm `7.15.1` ```bash git clone https://gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue.git cd npm-seven-issue npm install ``` _package.json ```json { "name": "npm-seven-issue", "version": "0.0.1", "devDependencies": { "npm-seven-issue-dep": "git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue-dep#5f1b313978986974d4364585e6bd3689276f1697" } } ``` If you are using `npm` version prior to `v7.x`, for example `v6.14.13`, `npm install` should be done within 2-3 seconds. If you are using `npm` version `v7.0.0` or later, for example `7.15.1`, `npm install` will hang for 60+ seconds with following text: ``` [....................] \ idealTree.pql-box: still idealTree buildDeps ``` Note, you need to remove
