after lost of research on the www i am still at a loss on how to properly do push/pull over HTTP

it seems to work on the GIT level, however PUSHS to the remote repository do NOT show up in the file-structure: adding a file locally, then pushing to the remote repository - the file will not appear in the remote listing, however it became part of the remote repository.

in the httpd.conf i put these directives

<Location /GIT>
  AllowOverride All
  DAV on
</Location>
<Location /GIT/.git>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Git"
  AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/pwd
  Require valid-user
</Location>

as /GIT is the publicly accessible site- i put authentication in the /GIT/.git location

another issue i can't seem to solve: having a REWRITE directive in the /GIT directory seems to obstruct any PUSH attempt from the local repository...

any help would be highy appreciated!

	thanx,

		andreas
