git: Git daemon

Git can happily push/pull using different protocols: local, ssh, http, and git.

The git protocol is supported by the built in git daemon and exposes one or more git repos over an unauthenticated protocol on port 9418 (by default):

Possible use case: Share git repositories locally when file system access is not permitted e.g. between an agent microvm and the host.

Example:

• $PWD/REPO/.git/ (non bare)
• $PWD/REPO/.git/git-daemon-export-ok (required)
• git daemon --reuseaddr --base-path=$PWD $PWD/REPO/.git (server process, default listen 0.0.0.0:9418)
• git clone git://localhost:9418/REPO repo-2
