SERVICES

SERVICES
--------
+These services can be globally enabled/disabled using the
+command line options of this command. If a finer-grained
+control is desired (e.g. to allow 'git-archive' to be run
+against only in a few selected repositories the daemon serves),
+the per-repository configuration file can be used to enable or
+disable them.
+
upload-pack::

+
+receive-pack::
+ This serves 'git-send-pack' clients, allowing anonymous
+ push. It is disabled by default, as there is _no_
+ authentication in the protocol (in other words, anybody
+ can push anything into the repository, including removal
+ of refs). This is solely meant for a closed LAN setting
+ where everybody is friendly. This service can be
