# Guards the promise that cgit reads nothing out of the home directory of
# whichever account the web server happens to run as. Every page is fetched
# under strace with HOME pointed at a path that is known not to exist, and
# the run fails if any call taking a path names it, which is how a stray
# read of a personal gitconfig would show up. The whole file class is traced
# rather than access alone, which is not a syscall of its own everywhere.
