Do you keep qgit.git/info/refs, qgit.git/objects/info/packs, and
possibly qgit.git/objects/info/alternates up-to-date under
http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/?  Your server seems to
give friendly "no such page" instead of usual 404 not found for
nonexisting paths, which means that you would probably need to
have an empty info/alternates file there, and if you do not have
packs then empty info/packs files as well.

Also I suspect once you start packing your repository the
downloaders would have a hard time --- instead of getting "not
found" as a cue to switch to fetching packs they would get the
"friendly page" and mistakenly think the loose object stored in
your repository is corrupt.
