Please remember that \"dumb\" protocols such as HTTP\nrequire additional info which must be generated by git (usually in\npost-update / post-commit hook), or transferred.\n\nYou can use SSH to access repositories, but I don't know any SSH\nserver for Windows. You can use Cygwin OpenSSH server, I think\n(restrict access with git-shell, or use gitosis)...\n\nOr you can use any networked file system.\n\n> Will a simple file share work, or do I have to worry about file\n> locking and such (e.g., two people try to commit at the same time).\n\nThe preferred workflow is for each person to have its own clone of\nrepository; one repository plays role of central one, ut not by\nsocilogical not technical reasons. Centralized workflow is possible,\nbut id doesn't take as much attention.\n\n-- \nJakub Narebski\nPoland\nShadeHawk on #git\n"},{"id":"79451","messageId":"484FD8FA.3060003@viscovery.net","threadId":"13894","inReplyTo":"63c5d3820806110551y69e895eeg4fde4bfdaf22bbf2@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: git-daemon on Windows?","fromName":"Johannes Sixt","fromEmail":"j.sixt@viscovery.net","sentAt":"2008-06-11T13:54:02Z","receivedAt":"2008-06-11T13:54:02Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"j6t@kdbg.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14810926?v=4"},"body":"Chris Hoffman schrieb:\n> Is there a distribution of the git server for Windows, or am I totally\n> missing the point of git?
