	4	+# CHUNKED TRANSFER
	5	+# It is a known issue that Git-over-HTTP requires chunked transfer encoding [0] which is not
	6	+# supported by Nginx < 1.3.9 [1]. As a result, pushing a large object with Git (i.e. a single large file)
	7	+# can lead to a 411 error. In theory you can get around this by tweaking this configuration file and
	8	+# - installing an old version of Nginx with the chunkin module [2] compiled in;
	9	+# - using a newer version of Nginx.
	10	+#
	11	+# At the time of writing we do not know if either of these theoretical solutions works. As a workaround
	12	+# users can use Git over SSH to push large files.
