 ok, i created a directory on my server.  Dav is on and working, i can
send and download files using IE on that url.

So is it possible for me to just simply run "git-init" in that directory, and treat that url as i would a repo over ssh or the fs?

i can do this:

$ git-clone /var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/repo/ repo Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aeyakovenko/projects/repo/.git/ 1 block

and i can do this:

$ git-clone ssh://aeyakovenko@localhost/var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/repo/ repo Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aeyakovenko/projects/repo/repo/.git/ aeyakovenko@localhost's password: Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

but for the life of me i cant do this:

$ git-clone http://aeyakovenko@localhost/var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/repo/ repo Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aeyakovenko/projects/repo/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
