I'd like to set up a git server over ssh, with a single SSH account for the project. All project members should have their ssh keys listed in authorized_keys. Lockdown should restrict access to only doing git stuff, and only inside a dedicated directory.
What is the best way to create such a setup? There is git-shell, which apparently can do the lock-down to only doing git commands, but I can't find out how to restrict access to a single directory. There are also various Python and Ruby wrappers – which of these should I trust?

you could have a look at gitosis or gitolite, gitolite is kind of better in respect of granting access and so on to repositories, you wouldnt have to worry about giving users access to the server and what not either
