I see.  I normally consider that bad form (maybe my age shows ;-);
but if people insist here, no problem.

Erm, just so I understand the problem:
- git-daemon is configured to use syslog(3) to log
- git-daemon uses openlog(3)
- git-daemon logs happily for a while
- rotatelog rotates logfiles in /var/log and communicates with syslogd
  to make sure syslogd starts new logfiles in /var/log
- And then git-daemon hangs on which system/library call?
