 OPTIONS
 -------
+--strict-paths::
+       Match paths exactly (i.e. don't allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is
+       "/foo/repo.git" or "/foo/repo/.git") and don't do user-relative paths.
+       git-daemon will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no
+       whitelist is specified.
+
+--base-path::
+       Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path.
+       This is sort of "GIT root" - if you run git-daemon with
+       '--base-path=/srv/git' on example.com, then if you later try to pull
+       'git://example.com/hello.git', `git-daemon` will interpret the path
+       as '/srv/git/hello.git'. Home directories (the '~login' notation)
+       access is disabled.
+
 --export-all::
        Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories
-       (have the 'objects' subdirectory and a 'HEAD' file), even if they
+       (have the 'objects' and 'refs' subdirectories), even if they
        do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file.
