I'm surprised you queued these. They really are not ready for application to a tree. For example the CGI is really messed up for trying to do Transfer-Encoding: chunked on its own, JH was right and Apache does it for us. That removed a good chunk of code from it. Writing the client for this is slightly non-trivial. I more-or-less want to shove it into send-pack, not http-push, as the bulk of the protocol we need to speak is there in send-pack. Anyway, I'm going to try to get back to this topic more later this week. I have been focusing on JGit this week (or at least trying to) as I really need to get some stuff done there for EGit. -- Shawn.
