BTW I take some satisfaction in that you finally agreed (in another email) that some post-creation caching is necessary. I would be even more satisfied if you finally agreed that it is a good practice to separate conceptually different things, and not continued ad infinitum (and ad nauseam) arguing that .git/info/refs should serve dumb transports, and gitweb, and eventually bring peace to everybody on this planet.
