 DESCRIPTION

@@ -93,6 +94,17 @@ OPTIONS
 --pid-file=file::
        Save the process id in 'file'.
 
+--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
+       the option are given to `getpwnam(3)` and `getgrnam(3)`
+       and numeric IDs are not supported.
++
+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.
+
 <directory>::
        A directory to add to the whitelist of allowed directories. Unless
        --strict-paths is specified this will also include subdirectories
