Git protocol

The simplest way of serving git, unauthenticated and read-only via the git-daemon.

WARNING:

Make sure to add the (empty) file git-daemon-export-ok to every repository that you want to allow git-daemon to access. Otherwise access denied.

NOTE:

If all you need is to export to github or something else, just replace the git history.
See git usage.
