Seems some sort of http:// is working now.

Git trees from /pub/scm are available via http:// as:

  http://staging.openfabrics.org/<path-to-proj-under-/pub/scm>.git
  http://staging.openfabrics.org/scm/<path-to-proj-under-/pub/scm>.git
  http://staging.openfabrics.org/pub/scm/<path-to-proj-under-/pub/scm>.git


Please note, that URL requests to users' home directories like:

  http://staging.openfabrics.org/~user/<proj>.git
  
will _not_ go to /pub/scm/~user/ , but to user's public html directories
~user/public_html/<proj>.git . So if you wish to provide http:// access
to your "~user" trees you will need to place this git tree (or symbolic
link to this git tree) under ~/public_html .

For instance with mstflint.git it may be something like this:

  mkdir ~/public_html
  ln -s ~/scm/mstflint.git ~/public_html/mstflint.git


Apache experts! Git and gitweb related additions to apache config at
stating.openfabrics.org are below. Please review! Thanks.
