" does anyone need 'dumb' HTTP-based access?" I do! I'm sure I'm not the only 
one who has no control over the firewall.

That's what I wanted to know. So it's like I thought. I still consider this bad 
design as it seems to invite race conditions. The question is:
does anyone need "dumb" HTTP-based access? It's only useful if someone isn't 
allowed to access port 9418 of the git daemon - which is hardly an issue for 
outbound connections... Your call.

Cheers,
Oliver
