I am.

I'm working with people behind a firewall, hence HTTP is mandantory. My lab has a webdav server, without Git installed on it. Being able to work with this setup was one of the key feature of Git when I adopted it (after a few years using GNU Arch the same way).

I could probably manage to convince my sysadmin to install Git on our webserver, but I'd prefer if Git continues supporting my current setup.
