My 2.5 GB git repository cloned to this computer (from another local area network computer using git protocol) in about 6.5 minutes using the Git plugin 2.0 beta with the Git command line provider. The same git repository cloning from the same server to the same Jenkins machine using the jgit provider (instead of the Git CLI) still has not finished after 14 minutes. There are indications on other jobs that the first time clone of that large repository may never complete.
