It has been over 3 months since I submitted this patch without anyone acting on it. In absence of comment from the Mart[yi]ns could this please applied anyway?Sorry. My opinion on this is a mild ACK on the technical front, and a bit of a frown ("do we really want to offer this?"). Specifically, my concern goes beyond what you can do against a pserver service - git hooks can be targeted with this. "Warning: as safe as telnet" ;-)
"As safe as telnet" is Ok as long as it is strictly optional. What I would primarily be worried about is if this change is a no-op for existing users, when they chose not to enable the new feature.
