Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.64.0603261804180.5276%40sheen.jakma.org ``` Hi, What is the minimum set of git utilities required for a git 'server'? git-receive-pack git-daemon git-init-db git-repack git-fsck-objects ? ? I have an old server, but it lacks recent python (for merge-recursive), so I'd like to ensure no one accidently tries to do actual merging locally. Only the bare minimum needed for a central git 'server' desired. ? regards, -- Paul Jakma paul@clubi.ie paul@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: The faster I go, the behinder I get. -- Lewis Carroll ``` ## Linus Torvalds, 2006-03-26 18:16 Subject: Re: minimum set of utils for git 'server'?
