Just a quick note for those of you interested in running a smart-http server once Shawns series graduates from 'pu' - I don't use Apache and the provided git-http-backend CGI script only works with Apache currently (and only CGI-supporting servers in general). In order to allow Git smart-http to work through a wider variety of servers, I wrote a Rack application that does the same things that git-http-backend does, in case CGI/Apache is not your particular bag of fun. Rack (http://rack.rubyforge.org/) is a Ruby webserver interface - you can write an application for it and it has a bunch of handlers for common webservers so you can deal with a middleware abstraction rather than a specific server implementation. This is nice because it means the Rack app I wrote that provides (hopefully) identical functionality to the git-http-backend script can run in the following webservers: * Just about anything that supports CGI or FCGI * Mongrel (and EventedMongrel and SwiftipliedMongrel) * WEBrick * SCGI * LiteSpeed * Thin * Ebb * Fuzed * Phusion Passenger (which is mod_rack for Apache and for nginx) * Unicorn You can also generate a WAR file from it (via the Warbler project and JRuby) that can be loaded into any Java application server (I tested it on Glassfish, but Tomcat, Websphere, JBoss, Jetty, etc should all work too). The project is here: http://github.com/schacon/grack I've tested it on a few servers, I'll try to test it on more and provide example setups for each. If you use it, please let me know how things go.
