Hmm. So what if the "smart" protocol used a redirect to the CGI and the dumb protocol didn't use any redirects at all? I say this because I think the dumb protocol won't handle redirects well. It will do them, but it would incur a redirect on every request it makes.
That's preferrable anyway, in my opinion.
Setting this up on a server which doesn't have the power of mod_regex available would be tricky, as you need to link the CGI into every single repository you are serving. I don't know (or use) many other HTTP servers beyond Apache so I'm not sure if they can do this.
Many can, and even more can if we instead of git-http-backend had something which looked vaguely like a unique extension, like "backend.git-http"
