Hi,

thank you for your answer. I removed the git Debian package and compiled v2.6.2 manually. The performance is much better now (on the same level als v1.7.12.4). We opened a Debian bug report, to request a git version >= 2.6 to be backported to jessie: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802661

The issue is now solved for us, thanks again for your quick response.

Best regards, Daniel Steinborn
