install hook failed - curl init.d/gitlab does not handle redirect

[Martijn Evers]

The init_script function in the install hook executes this line:

sudo curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/4-1-stable/init.d/gitlab

Because github sends an HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently back and curl doesn't follow it by default it fails the next statement in the init_script function. The 301 redirects to: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/4-1-stable/init.d/gitlab

To fix this, line 165 in /hooks/install stating: "sudo curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/4-1-stable/init.d/gitlab" should be changed to: "sudo curl -L --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/4-1-stable/init.d/gitlab".

Notice:
* I changed the URI to point to the new location at raw.githubusercontent.com.
* I added the -L option to curl so curl will follow future 301 responses.

I can confirm that gitlab does not install on precise.

I also can confirm that -L seems to fix the problem with the redirect. Also the following command seems to work:
sudo wget -O /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/4-1-stable/init.d/gitlab
