Yes.

First, we do not allow remote repository initialising yet.

Second, if you do not have git installed on the remote host, you probably 
want to serve via http.  This is a very suboptimal transport, as it cannot 
repack the contents.

And if you use such a suboptimal transport, people will blame _git_ for 
being slow, even if you made it slow deliberately.

Ciao,
