Is there existing support for telling the git-daemon what
specific IP to bind to out of an inetd setup and I just
missed it?

I could set that up realatively easily and gain the 
functionality I wanted that way too.

I've also hacked in a host interpolation too.

But like you said, canonicalizing it and checking it is likely
a bit of a pain.  I've side-stepped one angle of that by
symlinking in my /pub directory for multiple different
hostnames too.  :-)

No, but that really should be added.  It's a pretty trivial hack.

Doesn't work very well.  DNS is case-insensitive, and worse, there are 
the PunyCode aliases or whatever they're called.
