so, basically i need to append a .git to the repository root?  I am
getting these http requests in the access log:

72.192.162.186 - aeyakovenko [19/Feb/2008:12:58:13 -0800] "GET
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/repo/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 404 313

/var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/repo/info/refs doesn't exist, although
this exists:

/var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/repo/.git/info/refs

So why doesn't the http protocol handle this?  I can access
http://localhost/git/repo/.git/info/refs  through the browser without
a problem.  Is there any way to configure http protocol to just treat
the repository the same way ssh and fs does?

Thanks,
Anatoly
