I stumbled upon this limitation as well. If you cannot use this
solution right away (for example if you don't control DNS or cannot
change each and every client's HOSTS file): That was exactly the
situation I was in.
A workaround (I only did that for a very limited deployment):
- Edit the /etc/hosts file on the server, add 127.0.0.1 someinvalid.vhost.here
- Deploy gitorious in a vhost with that name on the server
- Enable mod_proxy
- Create a definition like this for your default ("/") site in apache
<Location "/git">
ProxyPass http://theLocalOnlyVhostName
ProxyPassReverse http://yourRealHostName/git
</Location>
Hope that helps. But removing that limitation from gitorious itself
would be great, obviously.
Regards,
Ben
