Since git-shell is not setuid, this strictly is not necessary, however,
I concur that git-shell is potentially started in a partially broken
environment which is not always easily fixable by the user.
And since git-shell needs to sanitise the filedescriptors anyway before
launching other programs, it might as well cleanup at startup if needed.
