[DRE-maint] Bug#853251: gitlab: git push fail - GitLab: API is not accessible

[Emmanuel Boudreault]

I can confirm that this bug affects our production servers as well.
Unfortunately the suggested temporary fix (commenting out) doesn't seem
to work. This might be because we are setting our DB to postgres in the
gitlab-debian.conf.

Emmanuel
