We observed a noticeable delay in the Git checkout step during Jenkins pipeline execution after upgrading the Bitbucket plugin from version 886.v44cf5e4ecec5 to 936.4.1.

In version 886, the checkout step typically completed in a couple of seconds. However, with version 936.4.1, the logs indicate a significantly longer duration, even though an EC2 instance is already provisioned and ready.

Attached is a log screenshot highlighting the delay for further analysis.

Expected Behavior:
The Git checkout step should complete within a few seconds as it did in version 886.

Actual Behavior:
The Git checkout step takes significantly longer than expected in version 936.4.1.

Impact:

• Slower pipeline execution time

• Delays in development and release workflows

Please investigate if there are changes in the newer Bitbucket plugin version that could cause delays in the checkout process
