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. |
