I think you can get rid of RequireAll with:
Require expr %{HTTP:x-magic-one} == 'abra' && %{HTTP:x-magic-two} == 'cadabra'
But I am also not sure that "expr" existed in Apache 2.2.
I think the older way of checking headers was to do some trickery with
RewriteCond; I tried briefly to make that work when I wrote the test,
but never did (but I'm far from an expert in Apache; the only reason I
have touched it in the last 15 years is for Git's test suite).
The nuclear option would be to put a shell script between Apache and
git-http-backend that checks for those headers (I suspect we'd still
need some magic in the Apache config to pass the headers out in the
environment, though).
