"~" should just expand to the value of $HOME, like in the shell,
independent of the real home directory of the real or effective user.

Right, I'll resend in a minute.

How should this interact with installations that run gitosis/gitlite that
use shared account, giving user identity via the ssh key?

I guess there's some kind of rhetorical question behind that I missed,
but if a gitosis-like installation uses the user git, and the user foo
connects to it identifier by its SSH key, I don't see what you could
do other than expanding ~ to the homedir of git, which is $HOME at the
time your run git on the server.
