$ fossil help gate
Usage: fossil gate ?FILENAME?

   fossil gate ?FILENAME?

      Scans filename for the requested fossil path found in the
      SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable and runs
      fossil http path if found.

      If filename is not present, just run fossil http with the
      requested path and the operating system will impose restrictions.

Regardless of whether this is a good idea or not, please do not call it
"fossil gate".  Please give it a name that alerts the user to the fact
that it's very closely tied to ssh.

Also, given the intended usage, I think it should fail closed, not fail
open.
