+
+Make git repositories clonable
+==============================
+To make git repositories clonable, you need to install ``git-daemon``
+(``git-daemon-run`` package on Debian/Ubuntu).
+
+Now make the repositories available by symlinking the paste repository
+directory (``$GLOBALS['phorkie']['cfg']['repos']`` setting) into
+``/var/cache/git``, e.g.::
+
+  $ ln -s /home/user/www/paste/repos /var/cache/git/paste
+
+Edit your ``config.php`` and set the ``$GLOBALS['phorkie']['cfg']['git']['public']``
+setting to ``git://$yourhostname/git/paste/``.
+The rest will be appended automatically.
+
+
+You're on your own to setup writable repositories.
