Git doesn't require a "server" - there is no "git server" like you find 
with CVS or SubVersion. Gitolite is a very fast and simple solution to 
get a shared Git environment up and running in the traditional 
client/server model that CVS and SubVersion users are used to. A true 
distributed environment will have no single "server location" of the 
source code.

There is a Git Daemon that can be run on Unix or Windows systems. But 
this is in essence just to supply you with access to a Git repository 
via the much more efficient git:// protocol, instead of abusing the 
http:// protocol.  The recommended way to access a Git repo is via SSH 
(which Gitolite also uses). You supply you public key, and don't have to 
bother with usernames and weak passwords.
