But how do I fix this so that the next apache update doesn't clobber this?
I think a better choice is to leave the systemd unit files alone. Then
you don't have to worry about your changes getting reverted on updates
and system upgrades.
I also think it is better to avoid serving files from your home
directory. Instead, use /var. Install your Git-managed project in
/var/git (and your Subversion projects in /var/svn). Add a git user,
and make ownership of /var/git as root:git. Finally, change the
server's document root to/var/git/<project>.
This setup works well for me. The only problem I have encountered is
Git's fix for CVE-2022-24765 a/k/a safe directories. Safe directories
caused a big DoS at my site. Also see
<https://github.com/git/git/commit/8959555cee7e>.

I agree with your first point about not *serving* files from /home. I
disagree with your 'fix' in using /var.
Notwithstanding the anaconda installer's indications and instructions
NOT TO, the installer always seems to WIPE the /var partition.
Accordingly, you should use a symlink from /var/git (or in my case(s)
/var/lib/mysql and /var/www/html) to somewhere else which will remain
stable across a re-install.
In my case I point these instances to an actual "physical" partition
which is /misc, which allows me to easily back-up all the active
'stuff'. (It's really meta to describe a 'partition' on an SSD as
'physical'... but there we are.)
Yes, it's a little more work on an actual re-install but I have some
'run-once' script lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local which handles all of the
stuff I would not remember how to do, much less remember to do...
And Jeff, you should remember that it is spelt:
Geoff
