Just a hint: I had some odd exec problems in the past (as it happens, also from xinetd and also path-related, but not(?) your problem), and found that exporting GIT_TRACE=/tmp/LOG-git-daemon gave some valuable clews. I'm unaware of GIT_TRACE being documented. I also concur it's annoying neither --syslog nor --verbose seems to cause these sort of errors to be logged. cheers! -blf- -- “How many surrealists does it take to | Brian Foster change a lightbulb?
