getting PROPFIND Error 405 with git push.

This suggests the client didn't see the server as one supporting smart HTTP.

And here's a snip from my access_log:

    ::1 - - [29/Jul/2012:18:34:34 +0100] "GET
/repo/myproject.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 117

Was this request actually served using the smart http-backend? Try the
request yourself on the command line with curl, making sure to pass
the ?service=git-receive-pack query parameter. A smart HTTP response
will include a service=git-receive-pack line as the first line of the
response body. I don't think Apache called the http-backend CGI, and
so the client thought the server was not smart HTTP capable.
