# Must have root access, repo owner defaults to 'git'
# Using root user is to account for my preference to use git-shell as the shell on my 'git' user accounts
# Example usage:
# sake git:repo:new GITUSER=git HOST=git.mywebsite.com REPO=sakefiles
# Would create a new git repo available at [email protected]:sakefiles/
