Is there a way for git to push to a server using the dumb protocol? Perhaps using the PUT method to upload files? Just wondering cause I just set up a dumb server and pushing to it doesn't work. If that isn't an option, where can I get a smart server?

Git dumb-http push protocol goes over DAV. There are instructions in Documentation/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt of the git repository. They're quite old now, and I have no idea if they've bit-rotted over the years. Hardly anybody uses that solution these days (and it's much less efficient than the smart protocol).

The CGI ships with the rest of git. Try "git help http-backend", which has some sample config for Apache and lighttpd.
