hg-git has examples of actually using the client module, and perhaps Augie
can chime in with some of his experience.

It is the hardest to support :)

The stateless HTTP protocol is different from but related to the stateful
TCP wire protocol, so it's not just a matter of making an HTTP connection
instead of TCP/SSH.

I would poke around in the Documentation/technical directory of git.git
until you understand the wire protocol; that's basically what I did to
implement HTTP server support. If you have questions, I can help clarify, or
you can ask the git mailing list about things where the documentation is
unclear.
