What if instead of communicating over a socket, the daemon dumped a file containing all of the lstat information after git wrote a file? By definition the daemon should know about file writes. There would be no network communication, which I think would make things more secure. It would simplify the rendezvous by insisting on well known locations in $GIT_DIR.
