This fails with the "remote end hung up unexpectedly" error:

  # /usr/local/bin/git-daemon --inetd --base-path=/blah -- /blah

Drop the --inetd option and it works with no errors:

Do you mean you run the above from your command line and it
fails?

Yes.

I do not think --inetd mode is supposed to work as a daemon that
accepts connections.  Wouldn't it be talking with a single peer
via its stdin/stdout?

I don't know exactly what it does under the covers (will look now).  
Perhaps it detects that its running from an interactive login and  
modifies its behaviour. But all I can confirm is that in 1.5.3.8 (and  
before 511707d42b3b3e57d9623493092590546ffeae80) "git daemon" works  
from the command line both with and without the --inetd option, and in  
1.5.4 (from that commit onwards) "git daemon" doesn't work for me with  
the --inetd option but it does without it. The testing from the  
command line is really only a diagnostic thing (perhaps misguided),  
but it does exhibit the same behaviour as issuing the same command  
within xinetd.

Cheers,
