minimum set of utils for git 'server'?

From: Paul Jakma <hidden>

Hi,

What is the minimum set of git utilities required for a git 'server'?

 	git-receive-pack
 	git-daemon
 	git-init-db
 	git-repack
 	git-fsck-objects
 	?
 	?

I have an old server, but it lacks recent python (for 
merge-recursive), so I'd like to ensure no one accidently tries to do 
actual merging locally. Only the bare minimum needed for a central 
git 'server' desired.

?

regards,

At least git-upload-pack, git-pack-objects, git-rev-list and 
git-unpack-objects (which are all part of the object receive/send paths), 
and git-update-server-info if you do http.

You should be able to just try it out. Start out with the above list, and 
see what complains...
