Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X all work equally well. Haven't tried git-daemon on Windows, however I have noticed that Git in general is much slower on Windows and the default memory limit is low, which can cause problems with large repositories. I'd guess that git-daemon might have similar problems. In the past, I have had problems with programs with programs in general accessing shared resources on file shares. I've had permission problems, update problems, and corruption problems when the network fails. I have had much better success with SSH. ~ Andrew Keller -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
