I do think worth pointing out that, quite significantly, you can now
use git-daemon to push changes into a repo, something very handy for
private networks.

This is enabled by passing the --enable=receive-pack to the
git-daemon (usually in the [x]?inetd configuration).

This has the benefit of:

  1) More efficient git transport for both pushes and pulls.

  2) A less ugly URL to use: git://server/repo, instead of, say,
 ssh+git://server/path/to/repos/repo.

  3) Ability to easily move your repo without changing the URL in each
 client, by changing the URL in the git-daemon config file
 (xinetd) --- say, if you want to move your repo to a striped
 disk, or similar.

There are no such files .*1.5.0-rc3.* on this server.  However, there
are .*1.5.0.rc3.* files.

I asked this in the context of the "fatal: protocol error"
thread, but can I install the 1.5.0rcX on my machine and use
it with our company repository, running 1.4.4.1?

In any case, I think trying to find wrinkles before the real
thing is certainly healthy.
