I don't know if this will help in your case, but if it will be only
you pushing to this repository, one option is to simply create a bare
push repository on your local machine, and then manually just
rsync+ssh it to the remote machine from the command line as a
so-called "push" operation.

You would then make the repo available to others over http or
something, which presumably you have available.

Would that work?

Have fun,
