Fix HTTP push to public repos

gitlab-qa-bot requested to merge github/fork/dermoth/master into master

Created by: dermoth

When doing an HTTP push, git (as of v1.7.9) first do an info/refs request, and only if this request requires authentication it asks the user for its password and authenticates further requests.

The initial request normally clears without auth on public repos as it doesn't update any ref. This patch forces every git-receive-pack to provide authentication.
