and the backwards-compatible dumb HTTP protocol, as well as clients
pushing using the smart HTTP protocol.
+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
+GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL environmental variable is set).
+
By default, only the `upload-pack` service is enabled, which serves
'git-fetch-pack' and 'git-ls-remote' clients, which are invoked from
'git-fetch', 'git-pull', and 'git-clone'. If the client is authenticated,
These services can be enabled/disabled using the per-repository
configuration file:
+http.getanyfile::
+ This serves older Git clients which are unable to use the
+ upload pack service. When enabled, clients are able to read
+ any file within the repository, including objects that are
+ no longer reachable from a branch but are still present.
+ It is enabled by default, but a repository can disable it
+ by setting this configuration item to `false`.
+
http.uploadpack::
This serves 'git-fetch-pack' and 'git-ls-remote' clients.
It is enabled by default, but a repository can disable it

+The GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL environmental variable may be passed to
+'git-http-backend' to bypass the check for the "git-daemon-export-ok"
+file in each repository before allowing export of that repository.

The backend process sets GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to '$REMOTE_USER' and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL to '$\{REMOTE_USER}@http.$\{REMOTE_ADDR\}',
ensuring that any reflogs created by 'git-receive-pack' contain some
