I disagree: git does not work "fine" over http, it only works fine for 
fetch/pull.
At less with last versions, push over http/webdav does not work (and by 
the way corrupts the remote repository, by changing the HEAD sha without 
uploading related objects).
I initiated a thread about that on the list a few weeks ago, with 
subject "git over webdav: what can I do for improving http-push ?". 
However I did not (yet?) post a patch.

I agree with this: if you push locally and then upload, it works fine. 
With rsync, ftp, sftp or whatever you want.
