Yes, the client will fall back to 'dumb' HTTP stuff if the server does
not respond properly to the initial /info/refs GET call.  I believe
it's something like if the client asks for

/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

and the server does not respond with the first line being:

# service=git-upload-pack

or the Content-Type header being:

application/x-git-upload-pack-advertisement

I believe either of those being absent will cause the client to think
that it's not a smart server, so it falls back to the DAV based push.
If you let us know what the curl output before that point was, or what
your apache config looks like, we might be able to help figure out
what's wrong with the server.

I got these DAV fallbacks all the time when my proxy wasn't letting
the /info/refs calls through to Apache properly.
