I have a situation with a relatively large git repository located in a virtual machine on an elderly, slow host on my local network where it takes quite a while to do the initial clone.

ravn@bamboo:~/git$ git clone gitosis@gitbox:git00
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ravn/git/git00/.git/

There is no git specific configuration changes in gitosis.

Is there any way of speeding up the receiving bit up to what the network is capable of?

I need the new repositories to be properly connected with the upstream repository. To my understanding, this requires git to do the cloning, and thus raw bit copying outside of git will not work.
