Hmm. I know nothing about scgi, but a quick google indicates that it is
a separate protocol from CGI and is more like FastCGI (i.e., it wants to
spawn a long-running CGI server and contact it over a separate
protocol).

So I suspect you are not able to run http-backend, and thus you have no
smart-http support in your setup.

That's would I would expect if you have no smart-http support. The git
client will fall back to trying dumb http, but that should fail (because
we haven't run update-server-info).

The other errors you see probably stem from the same issue.
