After seeing the section that runs "git init" in a throw-away CGI script,
I started wondering what the point of this site in forbidding a shell
access in the first place.
After all, if you changed that example with a script that feeds its input
to a shell, you would have enough "shell access" to do anything you need.
So...
Well, my reaction at this point was "why bother?", but then I realized
that that reaction is meant for the administrator of that hosting site,
not a user of that site, i.e. you.
Thanks for an amusing read, anyway.
