[PATCH 3/3] daemon: Support a --user-path option.

From: Mark Wooding <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:18
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

From: Mark Wooding <redacted>

If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the form
git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/..., where HOME
is USER's home directory.  This is done instead of any transformation
due to --base-path, so you can use both at the same time.  This lets
users set up their own git repositories to be served by a central
daemon, without them all having to be in the same place, and without the
git-daemon being allowed to roam the entire filesystem freely, or
exposing details of filesystem layout on URLs.
