Rack Attack IP Whitelist is not applied for git over HTTPS

I am having some troubles with the IP whitelisting for git basic auth. Our jenkins server gets constantly blacklisted.

I have added our jenkins IP to the whitelist: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/89644edc4e2a9447cc31d4f966c163316dff95fa/config/gitlab.yml.example#L498

  rack_attack:
    git_basic_auth:
      ip_whitelist: ["192.168.123.123"] # our jenkins IP

But as far as I found out so far the whitelist is only applied for backend logins and not for git basic auth over https.

The whitelist is checked in grack_auth.rb (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/89644edc4e2a9447cc31d4f966c163316dff95fa/lib/gitlab/backend/grack_auth.rb) but not in rack_attack_git_basic_auth.rb (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/89644edc4e2a9447cc31d4f966c163316dff95fa/config/initializers/rack_attack_git_basic_auth.rb). Am I missing something or should it also be checked in rack_attack_git_basic_auth.rb?
