Answer 1

Take a look at the second part of this page

The only "dumb" protocol is straight HTTP, which requires no special effort on the server. In both the git:// and ssh:// protocols, a git upload-pack process (which is not a daemon) is forked on the server that communicates with the client who's running git fetch-pack. In both ssh:// and git://, you get "smart" communication.
