I'll consider that later on. For the moment -- I spent probably five or six hours today and fiddling around with the configuration, and I don't have time to look at any other tools (gitosis etc). (At least osx comes with "Remote Login" == sshd preinstalled.)

While experimenting with git-daemon this morning, I did get the functionality that I need working by enabling receive-pack. Yes, I know that's a security risk, but I'm the only user, behind a hardware router (no exposed IP address) and I will have the daemon running only for a few minutes at a time when needed for sync.

I realize this isn't the "correct" or "optimal" configuration, but I know that it will work for the moment and, as stated, I simply won't have any further time for experimentation for the next few weeks.

Yes, no help.

Thanks, in any case - it's a good tip for the future (and word to the wise to git noobs who find this in the list archives: avoid HTTP!).
