OK, thanks for checking, it's good to know.

Looks like it comes by default with the RPM. Maybe the Apache version is too old?

$ rpm -q httpd httpd-2.2.3-63.el5.centos.1

$ rpm -ql httpd | grep rewrite /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60384 Feb 23 19:23 /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so

$ ls -l trash\ directory.t5551-http-fetch/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60384 Feb 23 19:23 trash directory.t5551-http-fetch/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so

Also, mod_rewrite is enabled in both the master config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, as well as the minimal git/t/lib-httpd/apache.conf.

Nothing, it just gives the startup and shutdown message:

$ cat trash\ directory.t5551-http-fetch/httpd/error.log [Sun Mar 25 15:27:12 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) configured -- resuming normal operations [Sun Mar 25 15:27:12 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

I will try your patch from the other message a bit later and let you know.
