I built git from source for mac os and after updating curl to the
latest version and installing the latest expat (both from source), I
have git-http-push installed.  I have a bare repository in the webDAV
directory (which was placed there over a webDAV mount, so it appears
that webDAV is working).  When I try to push to it, I get the
following:

sdavis$ git push http://sdavis@example.com/git/stuff.git master
Fetching remote heads...
  refs/
  refs/heads/
updating 'refs/heads/master'

The apache error log shows:
