It seems to be an implementation of the git protocol using
HTTP as transport.
Some info on this is at<http://progit.org/2010/03/04/smart-http.html>.

Setting up Smart HTTP

...
    To set it up, it■s best to walk through the instructions on the
    `git-http-backend` documentation page. Basically, you have to install Git
    v1.6.6 or higher on a server with an Apache 2.x webserver (it has to be
    Apache, currently - other CGI servers don■t work, last I checked). Then
    you add something similar to this to your http.conf file:

  SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/www/git
  SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
  ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/

Great.  Deciding that it will be http://servername.example.com/git/ is
really damned annoying as that's traditionally where gitweb lives,
which requires a different script alias.

It seems that due to a lack of coordination between different git
developers, people running webservers have a choice between providing
gitweb or this http extension.

Huh?
/git/ is just the example here, you can use any name you want.
E.g. I use /auth/ for authenticated users, and others use /gitmob/
or /gitanon/ for non-authenticated users.
And you can use something like gitsmart, githttp, or whatever...
