upon better thinking this really is a separate matter, take out of git-mirror altogether

+# manage a set of simpler (than git-miror.sh does), pull-only repos
+# the idea here is, we need to keep a local read-only mirror
+# of some repositories
+#
+# e.g. /git-slave/tophat.git on onelab.eu which is a mirror of
+# git.top-hat.info/tophat.git that can't easily be exposed as a git feed
+#
+# instead of hacking git-mirror.sh script that is already scary, 
+# I preferred to keep this separate
+#
+# so the overall layout is as follows
+# * manually created the local mirror by running
+#   cd /git-slave
+#   git clone --mirror ssh://tophat@git.top-hat.info/tophat.git
+#   which creates a *bare* repo /git-slave/tophat.git
+# * create a symlink for git-daemon and for gitweb
+#   cd /git
+#   ln -s /git-slave/tophat.git
+# Being a symlink this won't be considered by the main purpose of git-mirror.sh 
+
+# Typical usage in cron
+# */3 * * * * /root/bin/git-slave.sh -q /git-slave/*.git
