No problem--I don't claim to be an expert!

I ran git (repack,gc,update-server-info).  If you wait 6 hours for the
http to be updated (unlike git://, there's a 6 hour delay), then I would
be interested to hear if anything changed.

git is the recommended protocol; http use is not encouraged.  I think
you're the first one to try it out and find it's broken.
