That's probably work until you add "location ^~ /oops{}" and request
/oops/a.git

Not a problem; just a thing to be aware of when you use top-level regex
locations.

What requests do you want to match that location?

What requests actually match that location?

Alternatively: what request do you make? What response do you expect? And
what is the regex above intended to do?
