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.
