Git daemon configuration

This will allow url's like "git clone git://localhost/my_repository.git". Do know that this git:// protocol is read only!

Edit configuration file for git-dameon /etc/conf.d/git-daemon.conf (GIT_REPO is a place with your git projects).

# path to git repositories served
GIT_REPO="/home/github/"
# see `man git-daemon` for all available options
GIT_DAEMON_ARGS="--detach --syslog --verbose --base-path=$GIT_REPO"

Then start git-daemon with root privileges:
```
/etc/rc.d/git-daemon start
```

To run the git-daemon every time at boot, just append git-deamon to DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf file. Clients can now simply use:
```
git clone git://maxwell/testrepo.git
```
