Package: git Version: 1:2.1.4-2.1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
we would highly appreciate a backport of the version currently in stretch (2.6.1-1) to jessie-backports. While migrating a gitlab instance from SLES 11.3 (git 1.7.12.4) to Debian 8.2 (git 2.1.4) a colleague noticed a massive (factor 6) performance regression of a large git push (Linux kernel tree) to a NFS mount. After exhausting all NFS-related performance tweaks he asked on the git mailinglist, where a newer git version was suggested. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/279981 I have created a local backport package (no changes needed) and it indeed fixes the performance regression. git writes to the local filesystem are fine.

Thanks, Bernhard
