Hi all,
With some caveats and limitations, we now have smart http support in gitolite.
See http://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite/blob/pu/doc/http-backend.mkd for all the details.
There *are* some things here I would like help with so if anyone looks at those items in the doc linked above and tries them out, please contact me.
Enjoy...
