I don't know about git-daemon (git server) under Windows, but you can
use I think any web server (Apache, lighttpd, or even IIS) can serve
git over HTTP, and any web server with WebDAV can enable pushing to
git repositories.  Please remember that "dumb" protocols such as HTTP
require additional info which must be generated by git (usually in
post-update / post-commit hook), or transferred.

You can use SSH to access repositories, but I don't know any SSH
server for Windows.  You can use Cygwin OpenSSH server, I think
(restrict access with git-shell, or use gitosis)...

Or you can use any networked file system.

The preferred workflow is for each person to have its own clone of
repository; one repository plays role of central one, ut not by
socilogical not technical reasons.  Centralized workflow is possible,
but id doesn't take as much attention.
