This is ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e., pulling from
git repositories.
+An `upload-archive` also exists to serve `git-archive`.
+
OPTIONS
-------
--strict-paths::
'git://example.com/hello.git', `git-daemon` will interpret the path
as '/srv/git/hello.git'.
+--base-path-relaxed::
+ If --base-path is enabled and repo lookup fails, with this option
+ `git-daemon` will attempt to lookup without prefixing the base path.
+ This is useful for switching to --base-path usage, while still
+ allowing the old paths.
+
--interpolated-path=pathtemplate::
To support virtual hosting, an interpolated path template can be
used to dynamically construct alternate paths. The template
the facility of inet daemon to achieve the same before spawning
`git-daemon` if needed.
---enable-service, --disable-service::
+--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-override=service, --forbid-override=service::
Allow/forbid overriding the site-wide default with per
repository configuration. By default, all the services
are overridable.
disable it by setting `daemon.uploadpack` configuration
item to `false`.
+upload-archive::
+ This serves `git-archive --remote`.
+
EXAMPLES
--------
+We assume the following in /etc/services::
++
+------------
+$ grep 9418 /etc/services
+git 9418/tcp # Git Version Control System
+------------
+
git-daemon as inetd server::
To set up `git-daemon` as an inetd service that handles any
repository under the whitelisted set of directories, /pub/foo
