To run git as the "gitosis" user, just do

sudo -u gitosis git gc --aggressive

If you run git as root, any files it creates will be owned by root.
Since gc repacks objects in your repo, I'm pretty sure it creates some
new files. This probably won't affect pulls, but it may affect pushes
and it will probably also affect repo maintenance in the future (e.g.
gc may not work anymore as non-root).
