Re: quick bare clones taking longer?

There is something very wrong.  "-l -s" should never go to the
"remote: Generating pack..." codepath.  Is that reproducible?

Every single time on master.kernel.org

Could you try "sh -x git-clone" it?

Sure:

remote: Generating pack...

etc.

Oh, /home/davem/git is a soft symlink to
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem, maybe that is confusing
git to make it think the repo is not local.
