OTOH, if you did things the way as you suggested:

you cannot tell a person using one key to become "git" on that
machine from another person using different key to become the
same "git" on that machine; if you do not care about that
then it is OK.  That would work only when all of your git
repositories are supposed to be accessible by everybody.

But I suspect doing so would not let you have different projects
with different subset of "git" users on your shared machine.
