With the wide deployment of HTTPS, the plaintext nature of git:https://
is becoming less and less desirable. In order to inform users of
the git:https://-based URIs to switch to https://-based URIs, while
still being able to shut down aging git-daemon infrastructure,
this git-daemon-dummy is an extremely lightweight daemon that
simply provides an informative error message to connecting git:https://
users, providing the new URI.
It drops all privileges, chroots, sets rlimits, and uses seccomp-bpf to limit the
amount of available syscalls. To remain high performance, it makes
use of epoll.
