When +'-c' is given, the program executes <command> non-interactively; +<command> can be one of 'git receive-pack', 'git upload-pack', 'git +upload-archive', 'cvs server', or a command in COMMAND_DIR. The shell +is started in interactive mode when no arguments are given; in this +case, COMMAND_DIR must exist, and any of the executables in it can be +invoked. + +'cvs server' is a special command which executes git-cvsserver. + +COMMAND_DIR is the path "$HOME/git-shell-commands". The user must have +read and execute permissions to the directory in order to execute the +programs in it. The programs are executed with a cwd of $HOME, and +<argument> is parsed as a command-line string. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
