Well, according to cloc it's not bullshit. There's clearly a large
disconnect here between what cloc says and what the Gitorious guys are
saying -- by nearly two orders of magnitude. I'd be interested in
knowing if the Shortcut guys have an explanation for the huge difference.

I've read through the document a few times and don't see where there's
any confusion as to git daemons. Gitorious does indeed have a custom git
daemon (which you refer to as a proxy, which is a fair assessment),
necessary to resolve the friendly URL names into the on-disk layout.
This does mean that if the native upstream Git git-daemon acquires new
features or capabilities that we'd have to code it into your git-daemon
or wait for an update.

Yeah. Gitorious.org is great -- we have just decided that given a
self-hosting constraint that there are tools that better fit our needs.
