What ended up being the status on this? From the last I saw, the 
protocol and the fallover smart to dumb had all been worked out. It was 
just that people were waiting on an implementation server side of the 
protocol before the client was implemented?

Uh, did you read my thread from last night at 10:30 pm called
"Return of smart HTTP" ?

Previous to this week we did not have a working server, OR a working
client, OR even a final spec.

I've started working on smart HTTP full time, and am not touching
any other project until the patches are being carried in Junio's
"next".  I'm not going to rush the reviews on the list, but so long
as there is code for me to write/fix or documentation to write/fix
I'm refusing to touch another task.

I have it full implemented in JGit (client and server).  I have
most of the server implemented in C Git.  I'm working on the C Git
client today.
