Subject: disabling PROPFIND when using smart http
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 21:10:43 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTikwqtPDDk6i0nMKJiXn5cc3DmTGYp0==daX96yd@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Although smart http worked fine for me out of the box, following "man
git-http-backend", I've found folks on #git for whom it seems to fail
on doing a PROPFIND (found by setting GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1).  Enabling
WebDAV also doesn't seem to help, although that is quite likely to be
some nuance in the Apache config I suppose.

The thing is, I *think* that PROPFIND is not, strictly speaking,
needed when you use the smart HTTP mode.  If that is indeed true, can
we stop git from even attempting it, and so avoid the need to setup
WebDAV on Apache?

Would be a great help for many installations.

Thanks,
