SYNOPSIS
--------
+[verse]
'git-daemon' [--verbose] [--syslog] [--inetd | --port=n] [--export-all]
- [--timeout=n] [--init-timeout=n] [--strict-paths] [directory...]
+ [--timeout=n] [--init-timeout=n] [--strict-paths]
+ [--base-path=path] [--user-path | --user-path=path]
+ [directory...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
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' and 'refs' subdirectories), even if they
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.
