error in git push over http?

Question

I have set up a git server over http, and i am able to successfully clone or pull from the http server, but when i give a git push, i am getting the following error

  Fetching remote heads...
 refs/
 refs/tags/
 refs/heads/
updating 'refs/heads/master'
from bc6087dffe872999105c79e8b4bdb34d3a5b7bce

Can we perform a git push over http, or http can be used only for read access ? or can it be used for write access also ?

I have Web DAV on, do i have to make any other changes to be able to perform a git push ?

Don't use WebDAV. Set up your HTTP server to be a smart HTTP server.

If you're using Apache and have git installed in /usr, then you can add this to your httpd.conf:

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT [path_to_git_repo_root]
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/
