Anonymous read-only access to WebDAV directories

I'm using the Goodies/htaccess/webdav utility for setting up a git repository on a domain, and it works great for me, using a username/password.
However, I'd also like to have this same git repository be anonymously available for read-only access, but this doesn't seem possible -- it seems to require authentication for simple GET requests, too.
My solution now is to just use a cron job to clone the git directory to another one outside of the webdav path, but it would be more convenient not to have to do that.
Or, an explanation about why letting read-only access would be a horrible, awful, insecure idea would be OK, too.
