Hi,

After upgrade to SuSE 11.0 I was forced to update GIT (changed libcurl). I did (with some trickery) a pull of the latest git and built it using make prefix=/usr/local ..., to find out that /usr/local/bin/git-daemon starts /usr/sbin/git-upload-pack.

After creating a symlink to /usr/local/bin/git-upload-pack all works fine again, but I guess this is a mistake?

	Cheers --- Jan
P.s.	This is quite nasty to debug.  I was forced to to run git-daemon
	stand-alone (not xinetd) another port and run strace -f -p <pid>
	to discover the	cause of this problem.  Even with --verbose, the
	only error response was the client complaining on unexpected EOF.
