Do you have absolute or relative paths in $GIT_DIR/info/alternates?

I can't see anything that CGit's HTTP implementation does differently
from git-http-backend, but gitrepository-layout(5) indicates that you
may need to create $GIT_DIR/info/http-alternates as well to provide the
correct paths to HTTP clients.

If you don't want CGit's HTTP clone, it might make more sense to just
turn it off in cgitrc ("enable-http-clone = 0").
