Yup.

DId I mention "been there, done that" in my earlier email?  I'm not
bike-shedding -- there *is* an impact on productivity in terms of how
people troubleshoot when they run across a problem, and I really *do*
feel strongly about this in principle (even though I don't use
git-daemon myself so it doesn't bother me how you decide in this
*specific* case)

I'll shut up now... :-)
