Should the git daemon take a look at objects/info/alternates to check that if it exists, it points to a repository that also has a "git-daemon-export-ok" file? I don't see that this could be used for anything nasty, but it does provide a loophole where the daemon may open files outside the initial repository ... so a sanity check seems in order.
