Hello,

I saw some messages about git daemon in the list when I searched, but
of course the 1.5.5. version (...20080413.exe) doesn't have the
command.

For someone who does not have the windows smarts to compile mingw and
all that, what options do I have to get a minimal git daemon working?
Where can I download a "daily trunk build" sort of thing and would
that be a bit of a problem to use with production code?

On a more generic level, is there a good source of information on
getting a git setup going for a group of people using windows?  My
biggest problem is getting them to even pull from each other (never
mind push!)

Git daemon doesn't exist so git-daemon doesn't work.  I can't find an
ssh server for windows -- the only one that claims to be a server (at
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ ) says you can't use it if you have
cygwin, and I'm not sure if mingw counts as having cygwin.  (I'm still
trying to figure out why that server didn't work, meanwhile).  Doing
pulls over HTTP seems painful and suboptimal, plus it requires
lighttpd or apache -- I'm trying to get something lightweight going
here!.

My next 2 options are (1) make everyone use shared folders mapped to
G: or something and clone/push/pull from there, even though the main
git FAQ says SMBFS is not advisable, or (2) go for the full cygwin
experience, openssh and all...

Any thoughts and ideas will be most appreciated.  Pointers to other
places where someone's done it all before are also welcome :-)

Thanks and regards,

Sitaram
