Push via HTTP

$ git http-push [url] [refs]

git http-push [options] url refs

git http-push pushes objects to a remote repository over HTTP/WebDAV. It is a low-level command used by git push when the remote uses the older DAV-based HTTP protocol.
This command is rarely used directly. Modern HTTP Git servers use the smart HTTP protocol which is handled by git push automatically. The DAV-based push is considered legacy and retained for backward compatibility.
