How to set up Git bare HTTP-available repository on IIS

Question

My server already runs IIS on TCP ports 80 and 443. I want to make a centralized "push/pull" Git repository available to all my team members over the Internet.

So I should use HTTP or HTTPS.

But I cannot use Apache because of IIS already hooking up listening sockets on ports 80 and 443! Is there any way to publish a Git repository over IIS? Does Git use WebDAV?

Update. It seems that Git HTTP installation is read-only. That's sad. I intended to keep the stable branch on a build server and redeploy using a hook on push. Does anyone see a workaround besides using SVN for that branch?

Alternatively ... (non-IIS, but highly recommend, free and open-source)

Gitea (fork of Gogs): https://gitea.io

Gogs: https://gogs.io

SCM Manager allows you to easily set up revision control endpoints for Git, Hg, and SVN under the same hosting process. HTTP/HTTPS is supported along with built-in user authentication.

Git supposedly supports webdav, and should work with any webdav server. However, it's really slow compared to the native git protocols.

Today Git ain't too bad on Windows these days.

And if you want to use SVN on port 443 and/or 80 when IIS is already using it, try the tool at http://gstoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SvnReverseProxy&ProjectName=gstoolkit which is a reverse proxy that allows IIS to transparently pass thru SVN to a back-end VisualSVN server (running on the same machine on port 8080).

I'm still trying to get WebDAV and Git working on Windows though. (either by Apache's or IIS's WebDAV).
