Well, if you have ssh as an option, you don't need git-daemon any more, since the protocol that git-daemon does runs quite well over ssh on its own... The only point of git-daemon really is when you don't have ssh access (ie you may want to give people a limited interface, but not full ssh). Ie as-is, it's only for anonymous reads of a git archive, but it obviously _could_ do more. Linus
