I don't know exactly what it does under the covers (will look now). Perhaps it detects that its running from an interactive login and modifies its behaviour. But all I can confirm is that in 1.5.3.8 (and before 511707d42b3b3e57d9623493092590546ffeae80) "git daemon" works from the command line both with and without the --inetd option, and in 1.5.4 (from that commit onwards) "git daemon" doesn't work for me with the --inetd option but it does without it. The testing from the command line is really only a diagnostic thing (perhaps misguided), but it does exhibit the same behaviour as issuing the same command within xinetd. Cheers, > Wincent
