I would've thought somebody had done this by now, but I guess it's dependent on a bunch of things (TLS layer nowadays, maybe HTTP/2), so git-daemon support alone wouldn't cut it... Anyways, until this is implemented, feel free to continue hammering a way on https://public-inbox.org/git/ with frequent "git fetch". I write C10K servers in my sleep -_- [1] https://public-inbox.org/meta/20181229034342.11543-1-e@80x24.org/
