No, though "apt-get install apache" is easy enough. I was more concerned about wading through the mess of apache configuration to turn on webdave support. But that is just my empty grumbling and complaining; it's not a real stumbling block to doing this patch. And when I wrote that, I was fully intending to pick up this topic and work on the steps outlined above. _But_. It looks like the consensus is to add a branch.master config section even when cloning an empty repo. And that should address my concern in the 99% of cases where people use the default "master" setup. Which kind of takes away the main use case for this topic. So it doesn't make much sense to me to put effort into it now. The http-push cleanups might be nice for http-push users, but I don't remember even seeing a single user request or complaint about it. So I am not too keen to go cleaning up code that _I_ don't care about, and that I am not sure anyone _else_ even cares about. -Peff -- 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
