Dear All
Thank you for your comments.  I apologise for my delayed response.

I can't remember why I set up smart-http. There was a good reason at the time, but it's possible that the reason is no longer in effect.

I tried cloning over ssh and got an error:
     $ git clone ivan@myserver.com:/path/to/git/myproject.git
     Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/ivan/.git/
     ivan@85.92.88.62's password: ...
     bash: git-upload-pack: command not found
     fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I have ssh access to the server, but it's possible that I haven't set up the server to serve git over ssh. Please could someone point me to the appropriate place in the documentation? The command git upload-pack is available on the client and on the server.

With thanks and best wishes
Ivan
