you don't need root for gitosis. However, this means you will be using your own "regular work" userid to host gitosis also, which is a wee bit fiddly.

Apart from things like fixing up PYTHONPATH in advance, adding a "--prefix=DIR" to the install command, etc., you should also remember that any pubkey added to gitosis becomes a "git only" user, so normal ssh won't work for him anymore. If your own access to the machine which is now your gitosis server is via pubkey, you may find yourself locked out -- don't add that pubkey to gitosis :-)

If the original poster needs more info, I will be happy to give more details.
