Even if the site configures its 47 git-shell users to share the same home directory /home/gituser, I still think it is a bad design to force the administrator to create a directory in it, only to add a script called "help". The purpose of the directory is to keep custom commands that are allowed. If the site administrator does not want any command, it would be more natural to expect that the way to disable them would be _not_ to have that directory which is a collection of allowed commands. Adding that directory and add a "help" that exits with non-zero feels quite a roundabout and counter-intuitive way, no? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
