Issue

Impacted version: current master I checked maybe 4.11 too?

Deployment mode: standalone app with listen 80 port.

Problem description:

git clone http://localhost/owner/repo.git can’t work with current version of git.

C:\Users\kounoike\Documents\gitbucket\t>git --version
git version 2.12.2.windows.2

C:\Users\kounoike\Documents\gitbucket\t>git clone http://localhost/root/JenkinsTest.git
Cloning into 'JenkinsTest'...
fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:
  asked for: http://localhost/root/JenkinsTest.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
   redirect: http://localhost/git/root/JenkinsTest.git/info/refs

maybe, redirect isn’t accepted by current version of git cli? It is serious problem for GitBucket-Jenkins integration.

I found root cause. By https://github.com/git/git/blob/6628eb41db5189c0cdfdced6d8697e7c813c5f0f/http.c#L1513-L1517 , git checks original URL and redirected URL by tail. In current GitBucket(4.15.0), redirect response drops query string.

C:\Users\kounoike\Documents\gitbucket>git  http://localhost:8080/root/test.git
Cloning into 'test'...
fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:
  asked for: http://localhost:8080/root/test.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
   redirect: http://localhost:8080/git/root/test.git/info/refs

I add query string, it works correctly. I will send PR.

I hit this same issue today trying to build out a docker stack. I can’t get the app to build locally, or I’d submit a pull request - basically, I think a route regex for /org/user/reponame.git that passes it to the same endpoint as /git/. If I can get a local build working, I’ll submit a PR.
