could never get this to work. looks like the git repositories would need to be under /www/empty/git/, but even then it's returning 502 errors through fcgiwrap

How to authenticate using auth server? Something like this https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-subrequest-authentication/

That could do the trick, don't forget to remove the auth_basic + auh_basic_user_file directives in that case.
