You don't need "Dav On" to use Git: it doesn't know about Webdav and
makes not use of it.

That's interesting.
By googling I was able to dig up [1] which might be of interest to you.
Try playing with this option.
One more note: why are you using "/git" as your ScriptAlias, and not
"/git/"? The official documentation [2] uses the latter form.
I'm not sure this matters but I think it worth playing with anyway.

PATH_INFO env. variable is defined in the CGI spec and is supposed to
be cooked up by the web server; you're not supposed to mess with it.

The account under which the Apache is running must have r/w permissions
on the Git repos it accesses. A typical setup for this is to make the
Git repos owned by group "git" or "devel" and add the Apache's user to
that group. Of course, the repos should have rwx permissions for that group,
recursively. So supposedly you should create them using the "--share=group"
command-line option passed to `git init`.
