Exporting a git repository via FTP

Exporting a git repository via FTP

[Guilhem Bonnefille]

Hi,

I'm currently looking for the _simplest_ way to share a Git repo on my
HomePage (offered by my ISP). My configuration is:
- a raw HTTP server (no way to have any WebDav features);
- a simple FTP for upload.

Following the documentation, I first used a local directory mirrored
on the server (with the sitecopy tool). It worked, but needs disk
space (and is not funny :-))

So, I tried a direct git-push over ftp URL (as Curl knows FTP download
and upload). But it failed because FTP is not supported in push
operations.

So, I tried curlftpfs: setting up a local mount point connected to my
remote directory. It worked... sometimes. But it freeze really often.


So... I ask the Git community :-)
Is there any hope to see a git-ftp-push command one day? Reading the
http-push.c file, it seems that the most problematic part is that FTP
does not allow LOCKs. But, in my case, LOCKs are not necessary as I'm
the only one user to update my remote repo. No chance for conflicting
updates.
Anybody working on such thing?
