Hi,

I'm not quite sure if I got it right, but as I understand it I have to set up smart http using git-http-backend.
Long story short, pulling works using a wrapper script which calls sudo -u git -E git-http-backend.
However, I'm not able to push to the url in question, since lighttpd seems to mess up the http headers so that git falls back to webdav which obviously won't work.

Since gitolite also supports smart http one could add the login name to the gitolite user list and use that for pushing.
At least when I tried it that way it worked. However, the usernames I added by hand were removed by the plugin.

Is there anything else I could try?
