So http transport is wreckaged. (git version 1.6.0.1 here, Wang is using
1.5.3.x)

My git version is 1.5.5.1, although it doesn't matter ;)

http transport requires that "git update-server-info" is done after each
push.  Otherwise, it ends up in a trainwreck.

Shawn Pierce at Google is working on a long-term solution, but in the
meantime, if you have to use http transport, murder your IT people.

So, the current solutions are:
1. Waiting for Shawn fixing it.
2. Asking Ingo to "git update-server-info" after each push.
3. Murdering our IT people.

4. Install cgit, which removes the need for `git update-server-info`
