It will, but I think you should teach people --mirror pushing these
days, which was specifically invented for priming the public

That way, the administrator at example.com, as long as he initializes an
empty repository with suitable daemon-export-ok and necessary hooks
(which can be automated via templates), does not even have to allow you
a full ssh access.
