Hi Heiko, thanks for your reply on my issue. Here are the following outputs you asked for: git version git version 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66) hostname -f 0x6A6E73 whoami jns I have tried the Homebrew version of git, but no change in case of the issue. I just customized my system with the Mathias Bynens dotfiles (https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles) as well as with drduhs OS X Security Guide (https://github.com/drduh/OS-X-Security-and-Privacy-Guide). Because I reinstall my Mac on a regularly basis, wherefore I can say that one year ago these tweaks have not caused any issue. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help.
