I've gone through 1963 & 1884 and other reported issues, based on that installed newer git version in different location (/usr/local/git/bin/git ) and mapped that in indexing using "-Dorg.opengrok.indexer.history.git" as below

/bin/java -d64 -server -Xms2g -Xmx6g -Dorg.opengrok.indexer.history.git=/usr/local/git/bin/git -Dorg.opensolaris.opengrok.history.ScanToSpecifiedDepth=true -Dorg.opensolaris.opengrok.history.RenamedHandlingEnabled=true -cp $CURRENT/bin/opengrok.jar -jar $CURRENT/bin/opengrok.jar -W $HOME/configuration.xml -c /usr/bin/ctags -P -S -H -v -s $SOURCE -d $DATA

Even bumped log level and increased java heap memory doesn't help

Opengrok version: opengrok-1.0-v3
java version "1.8.0_221"
git version 1.8.3.1

Anyone looking into ?

Not really. This is such an old version that it's not worth it, especially given that the recent versions switched to JGit so they would not exhibit this problem.
