Hi,

Is it possible with git to push to a server on which git is not installed, and if so, how?

From the man page of git, sftp doesn't seem supported, and ssh:// complains about git-receive-pack not being installed on the server.

The man page documents a rsync:// protocol, but

$ git push rsync://some.location.com/ fatal: I don't handle protocol 'rsync' $

What am I missing?

Thanks,
