I removed the git Debian package and compiled v2.6.2 manually. The

Thanks.  It is good that we must have done something good within the
past 12 months between v2.1 and v2.6, even though it feels somewhat
unsatisfactory not knowing exactly what that good thing is ;-)

It was almost certainly the commits pulled in by e3b199a (Merge branch
'jk/prune-mtime', 2015-05-05).

And 0eeb077 (index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack
directory, 2015-06-09) helps for certain commands, too.
