Sorry, the last sentence should say "That should _not_ make a
difference".  You would be able to tell the difference between the
before and after with "strace git daemon" because of the ai_socktype
and ai_protocol settings:

but I don't think the effect is any different --- the ai_socktype and
protocol hints are for getservbyname functionality and the code that
cares about it was already passing those hints.
