  • Thank you NonNumeric for your detailed explanation. What I have missed to say in the Question was, that the Repo was cloned through https. Every time git fetches something from the server, it requires the credentials. Thus, a bare git clone without extra filtering would require the credentials first. There is no SSH key installed.

  • Don't assume that the credentials for the https connection will not be cached. Git supports credential managers. When I fetch via https I don't need to reenter the password until it is changed. You also have the risks @Jasen mentioned. Commented Mar 3, 2023 at 12:35
