To get more insight into this problem we need to do the following:

From Git version 2.3.0, you can use the environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND and pass the -v verbose argument like this GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v"
configure all release jobs to use GIT_TRACE=2 git push --verbose for committing. This must also be done in the git flow server scripts
if it turns out that there are not ssh problem, further investigation can be done setting the environmental variables GIT_TRACE_PACKET=true and GIT_TRACE=2

configure jenkins to use the above environment variables system wide: jenkins/configure#section71
