Hum, except if I missed something the classic way to use gitolite is to always clone using the same user (git@host:repository.git), and the "real" identification is done by the ssh keys (which means that contrary to plain ssh you lose the ability to have two users with the same ssh key, which should never happen anyway).

But maybe you're refering to an alternate authentification mechanism within gitolite I'm unaware of.
