Newline in file name can't be handled by web frontend

Summary

Commits with a newline in a file name can't be handled by the gitlab web fontend.

Steps to reproduce

Example repository: https://gitlab.com/akoehn/newline-test

Produced like this:

[Create new Repository on gitlab, I used the one above]
XXX:/tmp$ git clone git@gitlab.com:akoehn/newline-test.git
XXX:/tmp$ cd newline-test/
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ ls
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ touch test.txt
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ cat >> test.txt
test
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ git add test.txt
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ git add test.txt
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ git commit -m "first commit, no newline"
[master (Basis-Commit) d568ee4] first commit, no newline
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 test.txt
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ cat >> $'file-with\nnewline.txt'
file with newline in file name
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ git add 'file-with
newline.txt' 
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ git commit -m "file with newline"
[master d43ef12] file with newline
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 "file-with\nnewline.txt"
XXX:/tmp/newline-test$ git push

Open Repository URL in your browser, receive Error 500

The intended result would be to have no error :-)
