Steps will reproduce the problem:
1. create a bare & shared repository locally and copy to remote server
2. create a local repository. add and commit some files
3. git push to the remote server

$ git push --verbose --thin upload HEAD
Pushing to http://user@server/url/.git/
Password:
Fetching remote heads...
  refs/
  refs/heads/
  refs/tags/
updating 'refs/heads/master' using 'HEAD'
  from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  to   0120f45ebfd90501868e990bfbb9f50fb0a8ebae

<<<<< Here, a MKCOL http://user@server:80/url/.git/refs/ request is sent. The WebDAV server returns a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. Then, the following message continues:

Unable to create branch path http://user@server/url/.git/refs/ Unable to lock remote branch refs/heads/master error: failed to push some refs to 'http://user@server/url/.git/'

This is the server:

Server: Oracle9iAS/9.0.2.3.0 Oracle HTTP Server (Unix) mod_plsql/9.0.2.6.0b 
DAV/1.0.3.2.4-0119 (OraDAV enabled) mod_osso/9.0.2.0.0 mod_ossl/9.0.2.0.0 
mod_fastcgi/2.2.12 mod_perl/1.26 mod_oc4j/3.0

Is MKCOL expected even for existing directory in the remote repository? Is this a WebDAV server problem that 500 is returned?
