This is useful if you want to implement access rights by branchname.

I see this as more fundamental than any specific purpose.  Right now,
gitosis completely loses information on "who did this push", and this
fills that basic need.

And thanks for a patch that's even simpler than what I was *thinking*
of doing :-)

I will test it out today at work and report back but it should work; I
don't see why it wouldn't, unless somewhere else there's a
sanitisation of env vars going on for security.
