Yes, I'm aware of this.  I know that redirecting the URL for cloning
works, so you will still be able to do - say - 

	git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot-ti.git
 
but I don't think your example will work out of the box.

But then, even if we upgrade the git server and switch from the old
gitweg to cgit (for example) this would break.

I'm not even sure we should try to invest the efforts for such a
(basically undocumented ?) API.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
