          Enable Git daemon, which allows public hosting  of git repositories
          without any access controls. This is mostly intended for read-only access.

          You can allow write access by setting daemon.receivepack configuration
          item of the repository to true. This is solely meant for a closed LAN setting
          where everybody is friendly.

          If you need any access controls, use something else.

        example = "/srv/git/";
        description = ''
          Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path. For example,
          if you set base-path to /srv/git, then if you later try to pull
          git://example.com/hello.git, Git daemon will interpret the path as /srv/git/hello.git.

          Publish all directories that look like Git repositories (have the objects
          and refs subdirectories), even if they do not have the git-daemon-export-ok file.

          If disabled, you need to touch .git/git-daemon-export-ok in each repository
          you want the daemon to publish.

          Warning: enabling this without a repository whitelist or basePath
          publishes every git repository you have.

          all of which would be published. Paths must not end in "/".

          Warning: leaving this empty and enabling exportAll publishes all
          repositories in your filesystem or basePath if specified.
