I think something like that makes sense. To my knowledge there is no way with stock git to customize git-shell's output (at GitHub, that message comes from our front-end routing process before you even hit git-shell on our backend machines). The "username" in our version of the message comes from a database mapping public keys to GitHub users, not the Unix username. But I suspect sites running stock Git would be happy enough to have %(username) map to the actual Unix username. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
