Also adds a preamble note that a working 8.0 installation (i.e.,
gitlab-git-http-server, updated Nginx/Apache configs) is required before
proceeding.

 # From 8.0 to 8.1
 
+**NOTE:** GitLab 8.0 introduced several significant changes related to
+installation and configuration which *are not duplicated here*. Be sure you're
+already running a working version of 8.0 before proceeding with this guide.

-### 5. Install gitlab-git-http-server
-
-First we download Go 1.5 and install it into `/usr/local/go`:
-
-```bash
-curl -O --progress https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
-echo '5817fa4b2252afdb02e11e8b9dc1d9173ef3bd5a  go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && \
-  sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
-sudo ln -sf /usr/local/go/bin/{go,godoc,gofmt} /usr/local/bin/
-rm go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
-```
-
-Now we download `gitlab-git-http-server` and install it in `/home/git/gitlab-git-http-server`:
-
-```bash
-cd /home/git
-sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-git-http-server.git
-cd gitlab-git-http-server
-sudo -u git -H make
-```
-
-Make sure your unicorn.rb file contains a 'listen' line for
-'127.0.0.1:8080' and that this line is not commented out.
-
-```
-cd /home/git/gitlab
-grep ^listen config/unicorn.rb
-
-# If there is no 'listen' line for 127.0.0.1:8080, add it:
-sudo -u git tee -a config/unicorn.rb <<EOF
-listen "127.0.0.1:8080", :tcp_nopush => true
-EOF
-```
-
-If your Git repositories are in a directory other than `/home/git/repositories`,
-you need to tell `gitlab-git-http-server` about it via `/etc/default/gitlab`.
-See `lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example` for the options.
-
-### 6. Copy secrets
-
-The `secrets.yml` file is used to store keys to encrypt sessions and encrypt secure variables.
-When you run migrations make sure to store it someplace safe.
-Don't store it in the same place as your database backups,
-otherwise your secrets are exposed if one of your backups is compromised.
-

-cd /home/git/gitlab
-sudo -u git -H cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml
-sudo -u git -H chmod 0600 config/secrets.yml

-If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache).
-Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you will need to let gitlab-git-http-server listen on a TCP port. You can do this via [/etc/default/gitlab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-0-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L34).
