Re: [egit-dev] Fwd: [RFC PATCH] Introduce git-hive

2010/9/1 Robin Rosenberg <robin.rosenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch series appeared on the Git ML and is a feature that should have our
attention! Select publish on a repo would be cool, letting people pull
directly from your workbench. Whether we do exactly what C Git does whenever
this features gets complete or may or may not be important. I haven't
considered the details of this proposal yet.

What I have had in mind would be launching the git daemon, but with the
additional feature of making the directory part of the URL a long random
number, git://myhost:someport/longrandomdirectory/myrepo.git and then
making it available until further notice or maybe just once. One could
use ssh or plain git. Git hive is more advanced than this.

Look for <1283198367-11440-1-git-send-email-cdahlin@xxxxxxxxxx> in your
favorit archive.

Sounds really cool ... 

Does git-hive also include a mechanism to discover hive daemons (e.g. some kind of directory) ?
