I can't really remember what the problem was. I think some apache config
required some module that was not present and I wasn't able to get this
working quickly.

I agree that the real-world Apache test is more valuable and I really want
to keep the Linux Apache test running. However, I don't think many people
use macOS as Git web server and therefore I thought it is not worth the
effort to investigate this problem further.
