DESCRIPTION
-----------
A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT"
aka 9418. It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git-upload-pack"
when it gets one.

It's careful in that there's a magic request-line that gives the command and
what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is OK.
aka 9418. It waits for a connection asking for a service, and will serve
that service if it is enabled.

It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and
it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked
@ -29,7 +28,12 @@ for export this way (unless the '--export-all' parameter is specified). If you
pass some directory paths as 'git-daemon' arguments, you can further restrict
the offers to a whitelist comprising of those.

This is ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e., pulling from git repositories.
By default, only `upload-pack` service is enabled, which serves
`git-fetch-pack` and `git-peek-remote` clients that are invoked
from `git-fetch`, `git-ls-remote`, and `git-clone`.

This is ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e., pulling from
git repositories.

OPTIONS
-------
@ -105,11 +109,38 @@ Giving these options is an error when used with `--inetd`; use
the facility of inet daemon to achieve the same before spawning
`git-daemon` if needed.

--enable-service, --disable-service::
Enable/disable the service site-wide per default. Note
that a service disabled site-wide can still be enabled
per repository if it is marked overridable and the
repository enables the service with an configuration
item.

--allow-override, --forbid-override::
Allow/forbid overriding the site-wide default with per
repository configuration. By default, all the services
are overridable.

<directory>::
A directory to add to the whitelist of allowed directories. Unless
--strict-paths is specified this will also include subdirectories
of each named directory.

SERVICES
--------

upload-pack::
This serves `git-fetch-pack` and `git-peek-remote`
clients. It is enabled by default, but a repository can
disable it by setting `daemon.uploadpack` configuration
item to `false`.

upload-tar::
This serves `git-tar-tree --remote=repository` client.
It is not enabled by default, but a repository can
enable it by setting `daemon.uploadtar` configuration
item to `true`.
