Hi Ryan,

> Anybody know what I missed?

I think you need authentication for everything regarding
git-receive-pack, even that GET request. I ran into that issue while
patching Redmine's mod-perl authentication module to handle smart HTTP
[1]. Public projects (which have anonymous pull and authenticated
push) would just not work.

Git first GETs that URL you mention, and then POSTs to the usual
git-receive-pack URL. Both need authentication, but you're only
authenticating the POST. I suggest you authenticate every request to
the git-receive-pack service. Try something like this (warning,
untested!):

>        <LocationMatch "^/git/.*/[^/]*git-receive-pack$">

If anyone else has a better idea, I'd like to know myself :-).

Cheers,
Antonio
