Unfortunately the MTU stuff is completely over my head, but I will
note that doing
  git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git
works 100% of the time ("works" meaning "I saw 'remote: counting
objects' within 5 seconds)

whereas
  git clone --depth 1 git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git
works about 5% of the time ("not working" defined as "did not see
any 'remote: counting objects' within 30 seconds)
