gitolite not seeing HOME environment variable.

[TheGreatMcPain]

FYI I'm using my fork of this project which merges the changes with cgit version 1.2.3.

Using the default gitolite-authorization.lua script gitolite complains that the HOME variable is not initialized.

This happens both calling the cgit binary directly like so...

$ HOME=/var/lib/gitolite /path/to/cgit.cgi 1>cgit.html 2>cgit.log

and via nginx where I set the HOME environment variable via fastcgi_param.

I was able to make it work by modifying the io.popen call from

local handle = io.popen("gitolite list-phy-repos | gitolite access % " .. git.user .. " R any")

to

local handle = io.popen("env HOME=/var/lib/gitolite gitolite list-phy-repos | env HOME=/var/lib/gitolite gitolite access % " .. git.user .. " R any")
