Why do people think that "smart" HTTP transport requires Apache web
server?  If I understand it correctly provided git-http-backend is a
simple CGI script, and requires CGI-capable web server and git
installed on server.  Examples use Apache because probably that is
what author was familiar with.  I don't see the reason why it
shouldn't work e.g. with nginx or IIS...
