I assume you mean that the user's login shell is git-shell.

You can disable interactive logins by removing the ~/git-shell-commands/ directory. Unfortunately that doesn't let you customize the message. Perhaps it would make sense to teach shell.c to look for a

	[shell]
		greeting = 'Hi %(username)! You've successfully authenticated, but I do not provide interactive shell access.'

setting in git's config file.  What do you think?

Thanks, Jonathan
