Hmph. The "dumb" transport is kept primarily to allow folks, who can only use web hosting that serves nothing but static files, to publish their repositories, and requiring more things to be done on the "dumb" server side sounds somewhat backwards to me. To be quite honest, I personally doubt that this topic makes much sense in this age and day---I've felt that the dumb HTTP walker outlived its usefulness for the past 10 years already. But perhaps I am biased by the first-world access to the internet? Thanks.
