OPTIONS
-------
--strict-paths::
Match paths exactly (i.e. don't allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is
"/foo/repo.git" or "/foo/repo/.git") and don't do user-relative paths.
- git-daemon will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no
+ 'git-daemon' will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no
whitelist is specified.
--base-path::
Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path.
- This is sort of "GIT root" - if you run git-daemon with
+ This is sort of "GIT root" - if you run 'git-daemon' with

+ '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.
+ '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.
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
---user-path, --user-path=path::
+--user-path::
+--user-path=path::
Allow ~user notation to be used in requests. When
specified with no parameter, requests to
git://host/~alice/foo is taken as a request to access
Save the process id in 'file'. Ignored when the daemon
is run under `--inetd`.
---user=user, --group=group::
+--user=user::
+--group=group::
Change daemon's uid and gid before entering the service loop.
When only `--user` is given without `--group`, the
primary group ID for the user is used. The values of

Giving these options is an error when used with `--inetd`; use
the facility of inet daemon to achieve the same before spawning
-`git-daemon` if needed.
+'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=service, --forbid-override=service::
+--allow-override=service::

Allow/forbid overriding the site-wide default with per
repository configuration. By default, all the services
are overridable.
These services can be globally enabled/disabled using the
command line options of this command. If a finer-grained

disable them.
