I guess there's some kind of rhetorical question behind that I missed, but if a gitosis-like installation uses the user git, and the user foo connects to it identifier by its SSH key, I don't see what you could do other than expanding ~ to the homedir of git, which is $HOME at the time your run git on the server. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
