The DAV protocol itself is platform-agnostic, so your server could be Windows or Linux or whatever. Since DAV deals with file I/O, you might want to look at your security options, though I think basic access authentication would be enough if your server is only accessible within your company's LAN. By pushing over DAV, you can avoid running a git daemon. Looking at how you would do this on Windows, i don't think it's advisable to do so. To do this, first, you would need to have cygwin, then you have to run "cygrunsrv -I", which will install your git daemon as a Windows service. AFAIK, cygrunsrv pipes stuff to git-daemon. I don't know how good this option is, reliablity or performance-wise. I've tried this out (somewhat limitedly) using git built on cygwin, with an Apache server, though currently you would have problems if your Apache was running on a Windows box (my patch to fix this is on its way). -- Cheers, Ray Chuan -- 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
