	Garage currently offers git over WebDAV access for software projects. Unfortunately this solution has several limitations. Apart from its slowness it is often unreliable, meaning that commits do not get to the repo properly. In some cases the repositories are completely unavailable (e.g. behind firewalls and proxeis) and there is no way to use hooks (ie. trigger events on certain actions happen to a repository).
