1.6.6 introduced Smart HTTP. It is much more efficient, can run hooks and
has same kind of atomicity guarantees as ssh://, but it has few shorcomings:
- Requires server support (CGI script & Git 1.6.6+)
- Hook messages don't work (at least with 1.6.6.X/1.7.0.X)
- Requires 1.6.6+ on client side
- Authentication still sucks (no surprise, auth with HTTP just plain sucks).
But I regard HTTP fetch/push as backup for cases where git:// and ssh://
are not possible.
