Unfortunately, at that point in the post-receive hook, the only name 
known is the git account.  The committer and author names could be 
completely different from who pushed the changes to the server (notice 
that earlier I committed/pushed changes authored by Victor).

The real sticking point here is that everyone pushes to the server using 
the 'git' account, and gitosis on the backend uses the person's SSH key 
to determine access controls.  This means that to git, everything is 
coming from the same user account ('git'), and so there's not really any 
good way (that I know of) to determine who is the one doing the push.
