Yes. I use both in my private network, with only ssh open to the
internet. git-daemon is smaller and faster (started from inetd). And
I'm absolutely sure wont ever accidentally push something in the
mirrored repos.

I never had the error reporting problem in this setup, though. It is a
fully controled environment and I can just look in syslog.

I support the original reason for not doing the errors, BTW. It cannot
be on by default.

Heh, try the patch for your private repos and private repos of your
employer, who can sack you for exposing confidential information, and
open them to internet. Than come back and tell us how safe you feel :)
