Have you looked at core.gitProxy setting or GIT_PROXY_COMMAND environment in git-config(1)? People behind strict firewalls been using that for years to tunnel their git access through proxies. Used together with things like netcat, socat or corkscrew work miracles even with HTTP-only proxies! -- Denys
