Subject: git-daemon: path validation, export all option

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 19:13:32 -0700

A first attempt to make git-daemon a bit more suitable for kernel.org 
use: it allows the user to specify a whitelist of directories, rejects 
paths which have . or .. in them (to avoid bypassing the whitelist), and 
allows for an --export-all option.

Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <[email-masked]>
Support a modicum of path validation, and allow an export all trees option.
