It might be cool if git-daemon supported avahi/zeroconf/bonjour/rendezvous as a server and maybe git-status(? or maybe a new command) had a flag that could make it an avahi client and list repositories on the local network being advertised over avahi.

It looks like bzr has an avahi plugin. Not sure whether it would be a useful feature for people. What do other folks think?

As a project, it seems fairly self-contained and well defined, and might be doable for a small team in 24 hours.
