My experience is: it mostly works, but sometimes break, usually
doesn't give very helpfull messages when you mis-use it, ...

Rather clearly, git-http-push doesn't have as many users as ssh://,
read-only http:// and git://, and therefore doesn't have as many
testers/developers.

If "production" means "many users" and "need for something
unbreakable", then perhaps the HTTP smart protocol is more promising.

But that's just my experience.
