Maybe you could send around packages created by git-bundle as pgp-encrypted emails, and keep the original on your computer on an encrypted filesystem? You could also encrypt the bundles and put them onto a public server if that suits you better than email.

The biggest advantage of this approach would be that it can be done now, and no changes to git itself are required.
