Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?

Maybe you should run git-update-server-info in the repository on the
server?

Forgot to mention - I tried to run git-update-server-info from the
repository on the server.

No, you did not.  Otherwise, the message would not appear.  It can be that 
you have _another_ repository on the server, but running 
update-server-info there does not help.

I got the same results. BTW - if it works OK with ssh, I can only guess 
that git-update-server-info won't help for http. right?

Wrong again.  ssh transport is special, and does not need the information 
update-server-info provides.

Hth,
