Apparently pusher is falling back to dumb WebDAV push for some
reason. And then failing because server does not support it
or isn't configured apporiately for it.

Yes, the client will fall back to 'dumb' HTTP stuff if the server does
not respond properly to the initial /info/refs GET call.  I believe
it's something like if the client asks for

/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

and the server does not respond with the first line being:

# service=git-upload-pack

or the Content-Type header being:

application/x-git-upload-pack-advertisement

I believe either of those being absent will cause the client to think
that it's not a smart server, so it falls back to the DAV based push.
If you let us know what the curl output before that point was, or what
your apache config looks like, we might be able to help figure out
what's wrong with the server.

Well it was someone else, but the pastie he has sent was
http://pastebin.com/eaB0G1gx -- which may or may not help, because it
doesn't seem to show the response *body*, only the headers.

If that doesn't help I'll try and reproduce the problem myself first.
