Git commits refuse to show up in the web interface

[adelowo]

• Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.4.0+rc2 (bug exists in 1.4.0+rc1 )
• Git version: 1.8
• Operating system: centos
• Database (use [x]):
  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • MSSQL
  • SQLite
• Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
  • Yes (provide example URL)
  • No
  • Not relevant

Couldn't use the demo (try.gitea.io) as it kept on throwing a HTTP 500 error

Description

When creating a repository, there is this Initialize this repository with selected files and template_ checkbox, I just noticed that checking or doing otherwise actually impacts the way gitea functions. If I refuse to check the box, my commits do not show up in the web interface but they do if the box is checked.

I looked into the logs, there isn't a trace of failure or whatever. I also did a cat $GITEADB/org/repo.git/refs/heads/master, it gave me the commit hash which is ( obviously ) the same with what I have locally. The only amazing thing is I still get the empty repository page.

I was able to replicate this 3 times ( on 3 newly created repositories ). But if I check the box, the commits show up in the UI. I am not sure if there is a regression somewhere but I want to believe I must created repositories without checking the box prior to making use of v1.4.0rc-1

Seems to be duplicate of #3458

Sorry for missing that thread 🤔. I would keep an eye on it instead. Thanks
