That's exactly what I meant. A shared account with multiple authorized
keys. Sorry for being unclear.

No, obviously I'd be creating a new account for them. The point is that
if I create accounts for my partners just for the sake of development,
and then create a separate account for my project to which we all have
access, it means that they have to su/logout whenever they wish to
commit; on the other hand, if I did not do this, they'd be conceivably
working as the user who owns the repo, which is a really bad idea, I think.
Thanks.
