Here you say that your friend doesn't bother about the history, but just wants a snapshot. So which functionality are you actually asking for? The latter can already be handled by git archive: git archive --remote=<repo> <tree-ish> For example: git archive --remote=git://localhost/some/repo.git HEAD:some/directory git-daemon just doesn't allow it by default, you need to enable the upload-archive service.
