15This is meant to be used as a login shell for SSH accounts you want
16to restrict to GIT pull/push access only. It permits execution only
17of server-side GIT commands implementing the pull/push functionality.
18The commands can be executed only by the '-c' option; the shell is not
19interactive.

21Currently, only the `git-receive-pack` and `git-upload-pack` commands
22are permitted to be called, with a single required argument.
