A person trying to find the names of local users by checking for repositories with names like "/home/user" would always receive the error "no such repository", whether that user exists or not and whether the actual error encountered was ENOENT, EACCES, lack of git metadata, or the path running afoul of a whitelist or blacklist. Either Duy's patch or this patch sounds very good to me. Thanks to both of you for working on it.
