Yeah.

I would question why a normal application needs to start a redis *server* in the first place. Sounds strange to me. But I agree that if it wants to do that it should use a store reference.

<https://redis.io/topics/admin> says "Redis is designed to be a very long running process in your server" so that definitely reads to me that a normal program shouldn't just start redis-server when it feels like it (and I hope it stops it again later? After reading the source code it doesn't appear that way...).

<http://gitolite.com/gitolite/cache.html> says "WARNING: this has not been tested in a while. YMMV". Uhhhh. Not confidence-inspiring.
