This new option can be used to override the implicit --syslog of
--inetd, or to disable all logging. (While --detach also implies
--syslog, --log-destination=stderr with --detach is useless since
--detach disassociates the process from the original stderr.) --syslog
is retained as an alias for --log-destination=syslog.
--log-destination always overrides implicit --syslog regardless of
option order. This is different than the “last one wins” logic that
applies to some implicit options elsewhere in Git, but should hopefully
be less confusing. (I also don’t know if *all* implicit options in Git
follow “last one wins”.)
The combination of --inetd with --log-destination=stderr is useful, for
instance, when running `git daemon` as an instanced systemd service
(with associated socket unit). In this case, log messages sent via
syslog are received by the journal daemon, but run the risk of being
processed at a time when the `git daemon` process has already exited
(especially if the process was very short-lived, e.g. due to client
error), so that the journal daemon can no longer read its cgroup and
attach the message to the correct systemd unit (see systemd/systemd#2913
[1]). Logging to stderr instead can solve this problem, because systemd
can connect stderr directly to the journal daemon, which then already
knows which unit is associated with this stream.

One of the main purposes is to stick to the CodingGuidelines as possible so

The fact that we don't set $HOME may confuse admins who expect

read. And worse, since 96b9e0e3, a git-daemon started by root is

In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.
Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding
guideline.

Allow an external command to tell git-daemon to decline service
based on the client address, repository path, etc.
* jc/daemon-access-hook:
daemon: --access-hook option
The --access-hook option to "git daemon" specifies an external
command to be run every time a client connects, with
- service name (e.g. "upload-pack", etc.),
- path to the repository,
- hostname (%H),
- canonical hostname (%CH),
- ip address (%IP),
- tcp port (%P)
as its command line arguments. The external command can decide to
decline the service by exiting with a non-zero status (or to allow it
by exiting with a zero status). It can also look at the $REMOTE_ADDR
and $REMOTE_PORT environment variables to learn about the requestor
when making this decision.
The external command can optionally write a single line to its
standard output to be sent to the requestor as an error message when
it declines the service.

When the git-daemon is asked about an inaccessible repository, it simply
hangs up the connection without saying anything further. This makes it
hard to distinguish between a repository we cannot access (e.g., due to
typo), and a service or network outage.
Instead, let's print an "ERR" line, which git clients understand since
v1.6.1 (2008-12-24).
Because there is a risk of leaking information about non-exported
repositories, by default all errors simply say "access denied or
repository not exported". Sites which don't have hidden repositories, or
don't care, can pass a flag to turn on more specific messages.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
Since --inetd makes main return with the result of execute() before
daemonize is gets called, these two options are already incompatible.
Document it, and add an error if attempted.

When the host has more than one interfaces, daemon can listen to all
of them by not giving any --listen option, or listen to only one.
Teach it to accept more than one --listen options.
Remove the hostname information form the die, if no socket could be
created. It would only trigger when no interface out of either all
interface or the ones specified on the command line with --listen
options, can be listened to and so the user does know which "host" was

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.
Use '{tilde}' instead of '~', becase the later does not appear in the
manpage version, just in the HTML one.

This allows hooks like pre-receive to look at the client's IP
address.
Of course the IP address can't be used to get strong security;
git-daemon isn't the right thing to use if you need that. However,
basic IP address checking can be good enough in some situations.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of
a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky,
since now all old paths will fail miserably.
So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon
try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up.
With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git
and the old
git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git
