It wasn't clear to me from your email, but did this work with a
previous version of Git and is now broken?

OK, that looks like the old dumb-http protocol. And you said here:

...that you're using v1.7.0.4. There were tons of auth-related corner
cases that have been fixed since then. Can you try a more recent version
of Git on the client side (preferably v2.12.0)?

The version on the server shouldn't matter; the 401 is generated by
Apache, and as you are using the dumb-http protocol, git is not involved
on the server side of the request at all.

I'd also suggest that you move to the smart-http protocol on the server
if possible. It's much more efficient, and the dumb-http code paths are
not nearly as well tested, especially around things like authentication.
Running "git help http-backend" gives some sample Apache config.
