Git user needs /bin/sh as the login shell, and some sysadmins aren't happy about adding any user with a real shell. OTOH, it seems Mike is not concern about having a real shell for git user...

BTW, no so long ago, I posted a smiliar patch, which not only allowed to use git-shell as a force-command (but in a more explicit way), it also made possible to assotiate some name with every ssh key, so this name could be used later in git hooks.
