Description
When I try to clone a project hosted with this gitlab using the http link, it asks for user name and password even if the repository is public. Providing the user name and pw still results in cloning an empty repository.
Message from the command line says
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
Checking connectivity... done.```

Research direction
Start by reproducing an HTTP clone of a public project hosted by this GitLab deployment and compare the result with the command-line warning shown in the issue. Investigate why authentication is requested and why the resulting local repository is empty; done means a public repository clones with its expected project contents.
