This claim now seems wrong. A repeat of  ps -aux reports:

root@www:/usr/src # ps -aux | grep git
root   9398   8.9 80.5 1346480 768984  -  R    09:07       8:34.59 /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git pack-objects --local --delta-base-of

So, git definitely returns a shell prompt before it's finished working.
At the moment git occupies 1.3 GB RAM, 505 MB swap and 10-15% CPU.

Apologies for the misinformation, thanks for reading!
