But you are.  I can run this just fine:

 $ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/git.git/ linus

I agree in principle that you should be able to disable the call
to update_server_info() from there, but on the other hand once
we start doing it, we need to explain people which repo is http
capable and which repo is not and why.

I was actually thinking about a call to git-update-server-info
at the end of git-repack-script.  Again, great minds think the
opposite way sometimes ;-).
