Quickie git-daemon

Git-daemon is a mini-server for git repositories. It is small and cute, and suitable for sharing repositories within a local network or small groups.

Steps to getting it running

1. Clone your existing git repository with "git clone --bare current_repo new_repo"
2. Create an empty file called "git-daemon-export-ok" within the new repository
3. "git-daemon --base-path=parent_of_new_repo"

In step 3, base-path should not end in a slash.

Now, you will be running git-daemon on port 9418 on your computer. It's address is git://server-location/new_repo

To get commit access, this method requires ssh and is very easy.
