Update Native Git Client to A Newer Version

When users use an image that does not have ssh or git installed by default, we revert to a "native git client".

It looks like this native client is quite old. It would be nice if this native client was a newer version because then it would support a wider range of use cases.

Has there been any further consideration of this idea?

I can second this. I am running into the issue that
checkout
for tags will fail when using the "native git client".To work around this, I would need to create a multitude of docker images which would only differ from upstream by having it installed. :/
