SO suggestions are other git versions in the path, bad downstream proxy cache, 
slow or invasive network security appliance, which may be bypassed with ssh or 
VPN URIs, low resource limits in containers, which can be relieved by bumping 
resources or reducing sizes:

	git config pack.windowMemory 10m
	git config pack.packSizeLimit 20m

or huge repos which can be alleviated by a shallow clone --depth=1.
