Is there some plans to update git version for apt-get from 2.11.0 to higher (maybe 2.13)? It will be very helpful for a lot of cases with docker images.

Wrong mailing list.  Perhaps talk to either Ubuntu or Debian folks?

It seems like you're on debian stretch. You should be able to update to 2.20.1,

if you set your apt up to use strech-backports package sources.

For newer versions you'll probably need to upgrade to buster, though.
