Package: git-daemon-sysvinit
Version: 1:2.1.4-2.1
Severity: minor

Hey.

This is not really a bug, or at least as of now I couldn't
see any.

I just noticed that the homepage for git-daemon says:
>Like many programs that switch user id, the daemon does not
>reset environment variables such as $HOME when it runs git programs,
>e.g.  upload-pack and receive-pack. When using this option, you may
>also want to set and export HOME to point at the home directory of
><user> before starting the daemon, and make sure any Git
>configuration files in that directory are readable by <user>.

So apparently they suggest that there is a HOME and that
it is readable for some "configuration files" (which I wouldn't
be aware of any - perhaps they mean git-config stuff??).

Apparently our daemon is started without any HOME set.


So I'm happy with the current "no-HOME" respectively non-existent,
this is rather a pointer for the maintainers to check, whether
any thing might need to be changed with respect to upstream's
suggestions :-)


Cheers,
Chris.
