Interesting. It works on my development system:
tuexen@head:~/freebsd-src % sysctl net.inet.tcp.functions_default
net.inet.tcp.functions_default: rack
tuexen@head:~/freebsd-src % git pull
Already up to date.
tuexen@head:~/freebsd-src %
Could you provide a .pcapng file covering the `git pull` command?

Best regards
