title: Is daemon-export-ok the most archaic feature of git?
body: <p>This is more of a rant and may not deserve a wise answer.</p>
  
  <p>The question is, is the following the most archaic feature of git:</p>
  
  <pre><code>touch proj.git/daemon-export-ok
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why couldn't it have been something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git enable-export .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or something to that effect?</p>
