This is useful if you want to implement access rights by branchname.
The update hook can check this variable and react accordingly.

I'd like it to set an additional env var which will contain "username"
so that hooks etc can get that info and use it as they they see fit.

Here is a trivial patch. This is totally untested as I wanted to
implement something similar but never had the time to work more on it.
