I don't see how it is possible for gitosis to work with git-shell. Besides, in the article (which also is mentioned in Gitosis FAQ in the section: Creating new repositories and adding users") clearly state:

"The next thing to do is to create a user that will own the repositories you want to manage. This user is usually called git, but any name will work, and you can have more than one per system if you really want to. The user does not need a password, but does need a valid shell (otherwise, SSH will refuse to work)."

So, I think you misread something.
