Hi,
Short version: can I assume that, of all the service commands [I assume that's what they're called] in the services[] array in http-backend.c (approx line 530), only 'git-receive-pack' represents a *write* attempt?
Long version: I just managed to fixup gitolite so it can be used with smart http also, and after all that was done I got to wondering about this. It matters to gitolite because it needs to recognise whether the user is trying to perform a write or a read so it can make the correct access control decision.
With ssh it was very simple: you only had 3 command (git-upload-archive, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack) and the first 2 are "read"s.
And yes, I do notice that these new ones are all "GET" so it is hardly likely they'd be writes -- just wanted to make sure...
Thanks,
