Quick and dirty ad-hoc git hosting

Recently I needed to synchronize my local repository with a remote machine, just for full backup. It's really simple if you have standard Linux tools (Cygwin works too, of course).

1. in a working directory run:

   $ pwd
   /home/foo/project
   #         ^^^^^^^
   $ git update-server-info
   

2. in the parent directory start HTTP server:

   $ cd ..
   $ pwd
   /home/foo
   $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
   Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
   

3. on a remote machine clone/pull/whatever:

   $ git clone http://your_ip:8000/project/.git
                                   ^^^^^^^
   

Step 1 have to be executed manually when the local repository has changed.
