Subject: [PATCH] Add USER environment variable to executed git commands when serving

From: Heiko Voigt <[email-masked]>

This is useful if you want to implement access rights by branchname.
The update hook can check this variable and react accordingly.

Here is a trivial patch. This is totally untested as I wanted to
implement something similar but never had the time to work more on it.
