[Bug] Git sync and API calls timeouts - using Gitlab token

[zeigerpuppy]

The Git sync feature is very useful to synchronise with a git repository. However, there appear to be some bugs in the implementation (at least when working with Gitlab.

What's working:

• initial sync
• push changes
• pull changes (to .md files)

Tests:

• api container can access gitlab server and resolves it properly

1. when reading a commit history, it looks like the API is not loading the commits properly:

• Gateway Timeouts occur

• console shows the following errors:

  XHR GET
  https://refmd.server.net.au/api/git/diff/commits/bb42ee3d894b8eaf5036519c2f7d6a5863801fee^/bb42ee3d894b8eaf5036519c2f7d6a5863801fee
  [HTTP/2 504  60013ms]
  

This almost looks like it is trying to query the refmd api server instead of the gitlab server, but maybe those requests are translated by the api container....

2. once a change has been made, a pull brings up "Resolve conflicts" even if no conflict is present

• this does not appear to affect function, but is a bit confusing

3. git actions are slow

• in general, the sync actions appear to take longer than expected (the Gitlab server in this case is co-located on the same hypervisor, so should be very fast)
