Renaming the config file breaks pushes

[thomas-maurice]

Description

I renamed my config file from /etc/gitea/gitea.ini to /etc/gitea/app.ini and when I tried to push to a pre-existing repo I get the following error:

$ git pushdev
Enter passphrase for key '/home/thomas/.ssh/id_ed25519':

I am running gitea 1.17.3 on linux amd64

Going into the gitea homedir (in my case /var/lib/gitea) and issuing a

$ ln -s app.ini gitea.ini

worked to fix the issue.

This is strange that a repo depends on the filename of the config used to create it, hence reporting it :)

Cheers, and also thanks for all the hard work

Please upgrade to v1.17.4 or v1.18.0, that will fix it.
