I don't think that they have any newer version available, having just upgraded from Git 
1.7 a couple of weeks ago... (1und1)

Git 1.7 used to work for me in the same environment, but iirc they also said they 
switched from 32-bit to 64-bit edition and blame the increased memory consumption on 
that change.

I'll ask for a newer version, but I'd be surprised if this happened.

Unfortunately, no. There are no big secrets in there, but just a couple of database 
details so that I cannot make it universally available. I can gladly give you access 
though. (E.g. by adding your public SSH key?)

Best regards,
