Raj,
You may find that using Gitolite [1] (and following the documentation
that comes with it) to be a good solution to what you are trying to
do.

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.

Installing GIT Server

2012-08-10 Thread Neeraj Mathawan
Hi,
We have decided to use GIT for a huge government implementation, I am looking 
for some help with installation of GIT SERVER. 

Few questions:-

1. What platform to choose - UNIX, MAC or Windows? We have lot of windows 2008 
installations, and if there are no trade off's we would love to use Windows 
2008 server and install the GIT server compoent there.

2. Once that is done, the client machine mostly MAC OSX development 
machines...will they be able to connect using SSH or file share?

Can someone help me with this?

-Raj
