Description-en: unloads Git HTTP traffic from the GitLab Rails app (Unicorn)
gitlab-workhorse was designed to unload Git HTTP traffic from the GitLab Rails
app (Unicorn) to a separate daemon. It also serves 'git archive' downloads for
GitLab. All authentication and authorization logic is still handled by the
GitLab Rails app.
.
Architecture: Git client -> NGINX -> gitlab-workhorse (makes auth request to
GitLab Rails app) -> git-upload-pack
