Plan configured to checkout from Git repository stay queued for a long time
Platform Notice: Data Center Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the Data Center platform.
Note that this KB was created for the Data Center version of the product. Data Center KBs for non-Data-Center-specific features may also work for Server versions of the product, however they have not been tested. Support for Server* products ended on February 15th 2024. If you are running a Server product, you can visit the Atlassian Server end of support announcement to review your migration options.
*Except Fisheye and Crucible
Symptoms
When the plan is triggered, the job will stay queued for a long time (5-30 minutes), before eventually starting – even though there are available agents.
Analysing the Bamboo server thread dumps, this can be seen:

- 0x000000067fd9f7d8> (a java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock$NonfairSync)Cause
The default jgit library is being used to run git commands. This is not very matured and its most likely to be the root cause.
Resolution
Make sure that a native Git client is installed in the Bamboo server and add it as an executable capability. This will make Bamboo use the native Git client configured instead of jgit.
