title: git pushing to gitlab is extremely slow
body: <p>my git pushes are very slow, it takes me like 45 minutes to push a 200MB project to gitlab, I get 70.00 KiB/s  on average, any idea why this is happening? </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to use --verbose switch to see if I can see what files are slowing it down (generally after 1/% it goes A BIT faster... but --verbose switch doesn't show any additional info, is there something like this?</p>
  
  <p>I usually git push via ssh.</p>
  
  <p>Could this be because I have a few images in my project?  like 8MB worth of images shouldn't make it THAT slow...</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, thanks in advance!</p>
