I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'm missing the point: If you don't have shell
access then you can't use ssh(fs), can you?
Maybe you mean you can't set up git daemon or gitweb.cgi on the server?

In fact your complete git repository is now on the local filesystem,
with only the worktree checked out on sshfs. Is that what you are trying
to achieve? Or do you want to "synchronize" repos on local and sshfs
filesystems?
