The savannah.gnu.org admins are trying out the git "smart http" server,
but it doesn't seem to handle http redirects properly... should it?
Is this a bug with the git server?

The follow is from Sylvain Beucler;

Hmmm, actually it works, but it doesn't support a HTTP redirect
(namely git.sv.gnu.org -> git.savannah.gnu.org).

$ git clone http://git.sv.gnu.org/r/freedink.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/freedink/.git/
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 405

405 (Method not allowed)? Can you see what request it is trying to send
and to where (the request that fails with 405 that is)?

I think this is a bug in the apache setup at savannnah.  It is
responding to POST .../git-upload-pack with both 301 and 405.  This does
not happen if you use the redirected address directly.
