Any tricks to get the authenticated user in git hook script?

Question

As stash is on the way of adding more strong permissions controls, we are thinking of implementing a branch level ACL based on Git Hook scripts when people doing push.

But we stuck at how to get the actual user who is issuing the push, the $USER always returns the Stash instance user, which makes sense, as it is the user who eventually run the "git" commands.

But is there anyone we could get the actual authenticated user (name or email) in hooks?

Thanks!

yeah, in my case, the person who makes the change, and the integrator who do the push are different.

So your committer and pusher could be the same person with different usernames?  Otherwise author is the person that makes the change and committer is the integrator that pushes to the central repository.

Thanks for your answer.

But I was referring to a different problem...

We could get the comitter's info from the git log, however, we can't get the pusher's info ... namely, the person who performed the push ...

THe pusher could be different from the commiter ...
