Like many programs that switch user id, the daemon does not reset
environment variables such as `$HOME` when it runs git programs,
e.g. `upload-pack` and `receive-pack`. When using this option, you
may also want to set and export `HOME` to point at the home
directory of `<user>` before starting the daemon, and make sure any
Git configuration files in that directory are readable by `<user>`.
