DESCRIPTION
-----------
OPTIONS
-------
+--strict-paths::
+ Match paths exactly (i.e. don't allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is
+ "/foo/repo.git" or "/foo/repo/.git") and don't do user-relative paths.
+ git-daemon will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no
+ whitelist is specified.
+
+--base-path::
+ Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path.
+ This is sort of "GIT root" - if you run git-daemon with
+ '--base-path=/srv/git' on example.com, then if you later try to pull
+ 'git://example.com/hello.git', `git-daemon` will interpret the path
+ as '/srv/git/hello.git'.
+
--export-all::
Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories
- (have the 'objects' subdirectory and a 'HEAD' file), even if they
+ (have the 'objects' and 'refs' subdirectories), even if they
do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file.
--inetd::
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
+--user-path, --user-path=path::
+ Allow ~user notation to be used in requests. When
+ specified with no parameter, requests to
+ git://host/~alice/foo is taken as a request to access
+ 'foo' repository in the home directory of user `alice`.
+ If `--user-path=path` is specified, the same request is
+ taken as a request to access `path/foo` repository in
+ the home directory of user `alice`.
+
--verbose::
Log details about the incoming connections and requested files.
+<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.
