git + davfs2, is it safe?

["Gábor Farkas" <gabor@nekomancer.net>]

hi,

for various reasons our git repositories are hosted using https (webdav),
which is http-auth and client-certificate authenticated.

(linux on both the server and the client)

it's possible to somehow persuade git to push/fetch from such repositories,
but it's very annoying because either you have to enter your
username+password+cert_password
on every fetch and twice on every push, or you have to write them down
in $HOME/.netrc .

an alternative that seems to work is to mount the webdav directory using davfs2,
and then use it with git as a normal mounted filesystem.

it seems to work ok (a little slow, but usable), but i'm a little
worried about possible corner-cases.
for example, will it be ok if two people are trying to push into it at
the same time, etc?

so generally, is it safe/recommended to use git in such a deployment, or not?

p.s: or, does anyone know about a better way to handle the
username/password/cert_password
when accessing the webdav-repo directly (without davfs2)?

thanks,
gabor
