There is currently an open feature request on sourceforge for git support.
Please feel free to add a comment to the thread, hopefully if enough
people do so they'll do something about it.
(Though I wouldn't be surprised if they're working on it.)

However, git works fine over http.  I have a project on SF which I was
using with subversion, but I recently switched the project over to
git.

I simply posted a bare git repo on the project website, and bang it's
"hosted" on sourceforge.  In order to automate things a bit, I set up
a local repo which, when I push to it, runs git-update-server-info and
then uses rsync to upload the repo changes to the SF web server.

It seems to work fine.  I do occasionally git-clone the http-hosted
repo just to make sure things are still working, and so far no
problems.

The downside is that SF will not collect statistics on the git repo.
However, I've been using ohloh.net to track it instead, which works
wonderfully.
