+git-daemon-sysvinit for Debian
+------------------------------
+
+This package enables a git-daemon service.  This allows people to use a
+git:// URL to access your repositories.
+
+After installing this package, the daemon needs to be enabled in
+/etc/default/git-daemon by setting:
+
+  GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=false
+
+to:
+
+  GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=true
+
+After that, the git daemon can be started with:
+
+  # /etc/init.d/git-daemon start
+
+The git daemon by default looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for
+repositories (this is configured in /etc/default/git-daemon).  It expects
+the repositories' .git subdirectories in that directory, symlinks
+pointing to the corresponding subdirectories in the repositories are just
+fine, e.g.:
+
+ ln -s ~daniel/git/foo/.git /var/lib/git/foo.git
+
+This makes 'git-clone git://git.example.org/git/foo' to clone the foo
+repository on remote machines work.
