Git 2.44.0 released

That's not how I understood either of your posts (or how I understood the fact that you posted your confusion in the first place despite your eventual realization of what the changelog was talking about). Even in your last post, you still said:
> What I meant is that in Git, there is no "server-side" as in "the party that performs operations on behalf of clients"

My understanding is that you feel that the notion of server in Git is a stretch (*), an abuse of the word for working with bare repositories. And I'm arguing that it's the opposite, that Git is a true server (and a client, all combined into a single app), and the bare repository is a consequence of that.
You can even start that server with the `git-daemon` command.

(*) Although, I admit I'm not clear about what you mean by "performs operations", so maybe that's where the dichotomy is. It feels to me like you have some restrictive idea of what operations a server is supposed to do. Since Git can do the same "operations" as an FTP or HTTP server (put/store/save + get/load) and more, I personally don't see a distinction between them and Git, i.e. Git is as much a server as they are.
