 It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and

 This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories.
 
 OPTIONS
 -------
+--export-all::
+       Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories
+       (have the 'objects' subdirectory and a 'HEAD' file), even if they
+       do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file.
+
 --inetd::
-       Have the server run as an inetd service.
+       Have the server run as an inetd service. Implies --syslog.
 
 --port::
        Listen on an alternative port.
 
+--init-timeout::
+       Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the
+       client request is received (typically a rather low value, since
+       that should be basically immediate).
+
+--timeout::
+       Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time
+       it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent
+       waiting for next client's request.
+
 --syslog::
        Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
        --verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
