That's great. I don't need this right now, but having worked behind a firewall + proxy, I know how appreciable it is to push with DAV ;-). > I think a patch that would add support for pushing over sftp or some > other dumb protocol would be welcome.

I'll probably do, but my concern is broader than that. I like the ability to use almost any webhosting service for my revision control. GNU Arch was quite good at that, bzr is also (doesn't support webdav very well yet, but read-only-HTTP, sftp and ftp are there), so I'd like git to do the same. And yes, there are tons of reasons not to install git on the server. In particular, the fact that I'm not root there, and too lazy to do more than "aptitude install git" with pleasure ;-). -- Matthieu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
