Re: gitosis question: identifying/logging remote user

No, it just seems that you aren't expecting the extra level of
indirection. Instead of explicitly exporting values via environment in
authorized_keys, OR in gitosis-serve (like the other patch), I teach
gitosis-serve how to find the keydir again, and extract pre-formatted
data.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.  It makes sense, certainly.

However, I'll probably use/test the other patch :-) because that's
really all I need.  In an open source project, it's necessary for
people to see other details (GPG FP even, as you showed), but in the
kind of single-digit-team-size internal projects I manage, just the
userid is quite enough.

Also, I'm not even going to send emails.  All I want is to be able to
log each push to identify who did the push.  That log may never be
looked at, but if is needed, it will have enough information to go on
with.

Of course, if the main gitosis gets your changes, that'll be great :-)

Thanks again,
