I am trying to clone our Gitlab repository into a docker container, running on a fresh VM running Ubuntu 18.04.1.
For some reason, when I try to clone the repository, I spend a long time (several minutes) looking at Cloning into ${REPONAME} before we finally start to enumerate objects.
time git clone https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls.git
Cloning into 'gnutls'...

I decided to try cloning a different repo, google test which is hosted on Github and the difference was shocking.
time git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git

The Github clone is much faster than the Gitlab one!
I tested the same thing, on the VM and not inside a Docker container and the clone behaved perfectly. I am sure this must be some docker configuration thing but I have no idea where to start with it.
