You might be able to clone using the fallback to the "dumb" HTTP protocol (though I doubt it, with the steps you've shown) , but you won't be able to push. You need handlers for git-http-backend which handle info/refs and other requests that are related to the Git HTTP wire protocol.[1] Documentation for setting up Git's HTTP protocol via Apache are pretty easy to find[2], but IIS instructions are a bit more sparse. I don't know of any good ones off the top of my head. But that's your issue; your IIS setup isn't really a valid Git remote; it's just a Git repository with contents visible via HTTP.
