server$ mkdir /path/to/newrepo.git
server$ cd /path/to/newrepo.git && git init --bare
laptop$ git clone ssh://server/path/to/newrepo.git
laptop$ cd newrepo
laptop$ # add; commit; add; commit; ...
laptop$ git push origin master

(This may only work with recent versions of git as I believe earlier
versions used to complain about cloning an empty repository.)
