Couldn't you just change the validation in app/models/user.rb that validates the length of the login to be between 3 and 40 characters to allow 2 to 40 instead? That is what we have done here...

It all works well if the user name is longer than 2 characters. Unfortunately most of our LDAP login names are the initials of the users with only 2 characters (like 'af'). Is there a way to enable short user names in gitorious? Andreas, Would it be possible to use another LDAP attribute which resolves to the username? If not, the best thing to do would be to have conditional validation rules for the username and allow the configuration of this requirement in a configuration file, or to add a custom initializer which overrides the validations for the username.
