On 27 Feb 2012, Timothy Pearson spake thusly:
OK guys, first there is no such thing as a "GIT
server" where the software
is concerned. What we call a "GIT server" is a box containing a
well-secured central copy of the GIT tree, which can be accessed with HTTP
over DAV via Apache. No mattery where you go this is what you will find,
except for a few places that use SSH for GIT access (which the recent
kernel.org hack shows us is a Very Bad Idea BTW).
In the vast majority of places you will find git uses its own protocol
for anonymous git access. A *lot* of places use ssh for non-anonymous
access -- I would say the vast majority. You don't need to provide a
whole shell on the other end, thanks to gitolite and friends.
