[bind10-dev] git repo over http://

There was a request for git access over http://  due to some firewalls 
restricting the git:// protocol traffic.

The simple bozohttpd server was already running on the system. It was 
used for developers to temporarily share files and for access to the 
builder reports and logs. It was already also configured to host from 
/var/www/.

I setup the http:// access for git with these steps:

   sudo ln -s /var/bind10/git/bind10.git /var/www/bind10                        
   cd /var/bind10/git/bind10.git/ 
   git update-server-info 
   mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update

Mode was already executable; that script runs update-server-info           
on this post commit hook to provide extra files for dumb servers.

We don't allow pushing to this http:// server.

Please test it and let me know how it works for you. I will then update 
the wiki page to mention it as an alternative public anonymous access to 
the git repo.
