With my little exposure to git, I'd say it's not currently possible
with the git ui, but please wait for someone more authoritative to
say so.

In any case, I've run across similar problems, and I think this is
a good time to point out the feature that would be nice:
	
	All (most) git ui operations should be (relatively)
	transparent across networks;

I would like to clone to a remote server, for instance.
