A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT" aka 9418\&. It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git\-upload\-pack" when it gets one\&.
-It's careful in that there's a magic request\-line that gives the command and what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok\&.
+It's careful in that there's a magic request\-line that gives the command and what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is OK\&.
It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git\-daemon\-export\-ok", and it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked for export this way (unless the \fI\-\-export\-all\fR parameter is specified)\&. If you pass some directory paths as \fIgit\-daemon\fR arguments, you can further restrict the offers to a whitelist comprising of those\&.
-This is ideally suited for read\-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories\&.
+This is ideally suited for read\-only updates, i\&.e\&., pulling from git repositories\&.
