I believe this user is refering to the page on the Wiki describing
centralized repositories.  It recommends using a single user because
multiple users *will* get messy with regard to permissions using a vanilla
SFTP.

There is a way with a patched OpenSSH to make this work sanely.  Out of
the kindness of my heart, I mangled the Wiki to show how I got this
working.  The posted directions lack logical explanation but the whole
recipe is there.  I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes by just dropping
my info into the middle of that page ...
