Having a non-bare repository on a web server does not make sense at all. It's not like you will be developing in there, right?

And yes, you can append "/.git/" to your URL and it should work fine. HTTP transport is a second class citizen, and will probably never be as efficient as GIT transport.

Therefore, you can choose to continue your efforts with the http:// URL, but are mostly on your own, or you can go with ssh (git://) and it just works.

Unfortunately, I do not have the time to help you more.

Ciao, Dscho
