Does this also apply to self hosted GitLab CE/EE? Also how does Gogs/Gitea handle this?

What I outlined applies to self-hosted GitLab, it just uses git's default settings, and I'm assuming gitlab.com does the same.

Of course if you self-host you can simply change the defaults in /etc/gitconfig (which is in /opt/... if you're using the omnibus package).
