You're taking me out of context. I meant it works fine for public hosting so that users can easily clone and create patches. This is the main motivation for publishing your repo, so in that sense it "works fine". (for me) Since SF supports ssh, there's no reason to need http-push. I wish they would just provide some recent git binaries on the sourceforge server, then we could git-push properly over ssh instead of using to use scp or rsync. I think that would be a good start. *shrug*

In any case, http-push over webdav would still require git binaries to be installed somewhere on SF, so it's essentially the same problem.
