  Why do we need all these routing hacks?

  @rymai I didn't author these hacks and don't know the full story. This code was moved from spec/features/login_spec.rb, where it looks like it was added specifically to make sure OAUth requests are handled properly with 2FA (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/2a0be666e3078e28a02de298b386ec4c09232978).
