I didn't suggest it because the original request did not sound like
building a dedicated machine that is used only to push into without
interactive shell access. If $HOME is moved to such a git centric
place, that would make it almost impossible to use the account for
shell interactive access, I would imagine, and if that is acceptable,
perhaps something like gitolite would fit the bill better?
