AFAIU, above creates srv-folder, but _outside_ of gub

But below relies on having srv _inside_ of gub.
I can't imagine how this is supposed to work.
Probably I misunderstood some of your assumptions above ... ?

Anyway, I created srv inside gub, adjusted pathes/names, i.e.:

cd gub
mkdir srv
ln -s ../../lily srv/lilypond.git
/usr/bin/git daemon --export-all --reuseaddr
--base-path=/home/harm/gub/srv/ /home/harm/gub/srv &
make LILYPOND_REPO_URL=git://localhost/lilypond.git
LILYPOND_BRANCH=dev/gub-test lilypond

Success !!
(For now I used a 32-bit debian-8 in a VB.)

I don't know how to do any of above, could you give me some hints?
