DESCRIPTION
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
-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.

--inetd::
- Have the server run as an inetd service. Implies --syslog.

Incompatible with --detach, --port, --listen, --user and --group
options.
is not supported, then --listen=hostname is also not supported and
--listen must be given an IPv4 address.
Can be given more than once.
- Incompatible with '--inetd' option.
+ Incompatible with `--inetd` option.
--port=<n>::
- Listen on an alternative port. Incompatible with '--inetd' option.
+ Listen on an alternative port. Incompatible with `--inetd` option.
--init-timeout=<n>::
Timeout (in seconds) between the moment the connection is established
zero for no limit.
--syslog::
- Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
- --verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
+ Short for `--log-destination=syslog`.
+
+--log-destination=<destination>::
+ Send log messages to the specified destination.
+ Note that this option does not imply --verbose,
+ thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
+ The <destination> must be one of:
++
+--
+stderr::
+ Write to standard error.
+ Note that if `--detach` is specified,
+ the process disconnects from the real standard error,
+ making this destination effectively equivalent to `none`.
+syslog::
+ Write to syslog, using the `git-daemon` identifier.
+none::
+ Disable all logging.

++
+The default destination is `syslog` if `--inetd` or `--detach` is specified,
+otherwise `stderr`.
--user-path::
--user-path=<path>::
selectively enable/disable services per repository::
To enable 'git archive --remote' and disable 'git fetch' against
a repository, have the following in the configuration file in the
