Re: git-daemon problem

The only "right" solution I could think of is to properly
daemonize git-daemon when not running under --inetd mode.  Close
and open /dev/null the low three fds, and dissociate the process
from the controlling terminal (did I forget anything else --
perhaps chdir("/") at the top?).  And we keep the current
behaviour of assuming the sane set of low three fds when a new
option --debug is given to help people look at its stderr.  The
tentative patch to upload-pack would become moot at that point.

Hmm?

A common solution for this problem is 

	while (1) {
		int     fd;

		fd = open("/dev/null", O_RDWR);
		if (fd < 0)
			exit(EX_OSERR);
		if (fd > 2) {
			close(fd);
			break;
		}
	}
