If you update to the most recent version of git-client-plugin (1.0.5 or later), you don't need the "-D" setting, since command line git is the default in the latest git-client-plugin versions.
Regarding problem 1: I think it may be the old version of git you are running (1.6.0.2). Refer to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-17629 for a more detailed description of why the problem is related to the git version. Git versions after 1.6.2 do not have the problem Regarding problem 2: The git plugin advanced section has a "fast remote polling" setting. I believe that if you enable that, then the plugin will use "git ls-remote" from the master node without performing the operation on the slave node. You might check if the advanced configuration has fast remote polling enabled. If it does and you are concerned about the overhead due to polling, you might read Kohsuke Kawaguchi's "Git polling must die" posting which describes how to improve the responsiveness of your jobs and reduce git polling significantly.
