Re: [PATCH] git-daemon: more powerful base-path/user-path settings, using formats.

Pierre Habouzit [off-list ref] writes:

There is also a second patch that never made it to the list that fixes:
 * some indentation problems due to a bad vimrc
 * --default-hostname switch (to handle virtual hosts even with older
   clients)
 * possible overflow in the formatting method.

I'll recompute a new patch that superseeds that one, and merge your 
comments and my never sent patch too.

I have to admit that I kinda liked JDL's simpler one first (and
it has been in production use for some time).  We'll see.

About vger potentially throwing things away, I use this script
(called "taboo.perl") to check my messages before sending them
out.

Obviously the taboo-word list itself is not attached here, but
the actual script should have a copy of it after the __DATA__
marker.
