It seems to me that any time you need to add a new helper command, the
administrator needs to make sure that appears in ~$user/git-shell-commands
of all the users who need it.  When adding a new user, a similar
management action needs to happen.  Perhaps that is done by making a
symlink from all the users' home directories to one shared place.  Is that
the general idea?

In any case, I'd prefer that the sample command implementations like list
and help to live in contrib/ somewhere.  They are not part of what the
main Makefile needs to know about, right?
