I assumed that the new -- much more efficient (correct?) transport
would make the older (dumber) transport obsolete, and I didn't realise
it had any advantages over the new one.

FWIW the old transport still has its place.  If your web host (e.g.,
an ISP) allows only static content (no CGI), then there is no choice.

Not so relevant for gitolite but still relevant in the world.

Also I now realise the new transport requires Apache, so people with
other web servers probably need it too.

I guess what remains is that the protocol is not efficient enough,
especially for normal push/fetch working-day interactions.  I'll find
suitable wording that reflects all this...
