Was having this same issue with the DigitalOcean one click install of GitLab CE. It seems the fix is related to either Apache or Nginx. (Unsure what’s installed by the one-click installer.)
DigitalOcean recommended via Twitter to come here for help with resolving this due to the lack of any kind of tutorial on fixing this problem.
Can anyone help?

Hey there, I read over that stack overflow and you want to take a look at the solution for Nginx that was proposed in the top answer. I’ll copy it below:
Just load your nginx.conf and add client_max_body_size 50m; ( changing the value to your needs ) in the http block.
Reload nginx to accept the new config by executing sudo service nginx reload and try again to push your commit over http.

The DigitalOcean GitLab One-Click image uses GitLab’s “omnibus” installer which bundles it’s own copy of Nginx. You can insert custom Nginx settings, by editing /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb If you wanted to increase the client_max_body_size add this line:
nginx['client_max_body_size'] = '50m'
For the change to take effect, you must then run: sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
For more information on customizing GitLab’s Nginx configuration, see the upstream documentation.
