Git Protocol v2 now enabled for SSH on GitLab.com

GitLab has integrated Git Protocol v2 over SSH on GitLab.com, enhancing its previous support for Protocol v2 over HTTP introduced in GitLab 11.4. Protocol v2, available from Git version 2.18.0 and requiring opt-in activation, optimizes the performance of clone, fetch, and push operations between clients and servers by reducing network traffic and allowing for future enhancements. Users can globally enable this protocol by executing a specific git config command, and the impact of this upgrade is demonstrable through a significant reduction in the number of packets sent during operations, as evidenced by a comparison of network traffic using Protocol v0 and Protocol v2.
