This should point to /usr/lib/git/git-http-backend, which I think is the
source of your problems.

I'm not sure this <Directory> match will do what you want, because from
Apache's perspective, it is hitting /usr/lib/git/git-http-backend on the
filesystem, and it is only git that actually touches the filesystem.

I think you want to use

  <Location /git>
     ...
  </Location>

instead. But I am not an Apache expert, so maybe it does work.
