And if you have 1) the permission and 2) the CPU power to execute such a
cgi on the server and obviously 3) the knowledge to set it up properly,
then why aren't you running the Git daemon in the first place?

And you probably _are_ running git daemon. But some clients may be on
shitty connections that only allow http. That's one of the scenarios
we're discussing.

That's not what I'm disputing at all.

I'm disputing the vertue of an HTTP solution involving a cgi with Git 
bundles vs an HTTP solution involving static file range serving.  The 
clients on shitty connections don't care either ways.
