You can do some of that a different way.

I have it set up so that when I push a tag into my public git repositories, 
that a post-update hook creates a tarball of the site and puts it into the 
download directory.

The hook is of the following form

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is used to create a tarball of the project and place it into the 
"files"
# directory of the web site whenever a release is tagged in the repository
#
PROJECT=akcmoney
# this should look at each positional parameter
for ref ; do
#if its a tag then create a tarball
        if [ "${ref:0:10}" == "refs/tags/" ] ; then
                git-tar-tree ${ref:10} $PROJECT | gzip -9 
> /var/www/chandlerfamily/files/$PROJECT/$PROJECT-${ref:10}.tar.gz
        fi
done
