Yes, and they impose some its own access control model, which is
different to what you normally have using git-shell. So, the purpose
of my patch was to provide the absolutely minimal change to git-shell
which allows to have a central Git server with multiple Git users under
one system account. I guess that most Git developers do not use Git in
this configuration, so they are not very interested in this patch. But
there are projects where having a central repo is strict requirement
(usually justified by having centralized place to backup all sources,
difficult exchanging patches by email especially in great volume, and
impossibility direct connection due to firewalls, etc...).

So, I believe that my patch (or something simple like that) could help
Git with wider adaptation.

Thanks,
Dmitry
