Hello,

While your arguments for user isolation make sense, they really only
make sense if you were to be using gitolite or gitosis at the same time
as gogs which I imagine would not be that common. I am not opposed to
you having a gogs user on your system, but I think that the default user
defined by the port should reflect a reasonable default for most people,
and that user is git not gogs, even the gogs documentation directs you
to use the git user.
