Git over HTTP(S) stopped working (HTTP Basic: Access denied)

Summary

After some of the latest updates (13.12.3) Git over HTTP(S) stopped working on our private Gitlab CE instance.

What is the current bug behavior?

user@server:$ git clone https://gitlab.../issues.git
Cloning into 'issues'...
Username for 'https://gitlab...': username
Password for 'https://username@gitlab...':
remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.../username/issues.git/'

What is the expected correct behavior?

user@server:$ git clone https://github.com/ImDwivedi1/Git-Example.git
Cloning into 'Git-Example'...
