I found the problem regarding git push failures. Unfortunately this is
related to my attempts fixing a sechole in our gitweb setup a few days ago.

For those who are interested: git always sends a PROPFIND request first
when you do a git push (this is over HTTP, remember). The server replies
with the git.maemo.org "frontpage", which is obviously not the content
what git would expect.

Now wondering about a quick fix, so that the repos and gitweb could
happily live together again.
