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.
+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.
This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories.
OPTIONS
-------
+--export-all::
+ Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories
+ (have the 'objects' subdirectory and a 'HEAD' file), even if they
+ do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file.
+
--inetd::
Have the server run as an inetd service.
--port::
Listen on an alternative port.
+--init-timeout::
+ Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the
+ client request is received (typically a rather low value, since
+ that should be basically immediate).
+
+--timeout::
+ Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time
+ it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent
+ waiting for next client's request.
+
--syslog::
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
