As I am using git in a corporate environment I couldn't agree more. smart- http definitely is the most import addition to git in the last months. So far I didn't carry out extensive production runs but my first tests already showed that the smart-http backend solves many problems we have with the dumb webdav approach (no hooks, insane amount of http requests, slow performance, ...). As I have a systems engineer (not a C coder) perspective on git I cannot comment an any possible glitches of this implementation. I just want to make sure that everyone recognizes just how import smart-http is for corporate environments and that the current patch already solves a lot of problems.
