Well, the thing is, "higher up" would not have enough clue to see if it needs to give dashed form (for git-daemon) or space form (for ssh), so that suggestion won't help much.

I do not care too much about closed source service, but gitosis should be able to update the pattern to allow "git[ -]upload-pack" reasonably easily.

Any other suggestions that is workable?
