I believe you're referring to git response to such error codes for GET requests?

For 404, we'll try using alternates (objects/info/http-alternates,
objects/info/alternates).

For the rest, we'll just abort the request. I'm not really sure of the
specific responses by git, like if we do ask for authentication, in
the case of 401s.
