Potential solution to store arbitrary data in a safe manner:

mkdir remote_git_raw remote_git
sshfs <data-center>:<path @ datacenter> $PWD/remote_git_raw
encfs $PWD/remote_git_raw $PWD/remote_git

This will lock your data in a remote encfs volume.  (Uses FUSE)

Not quite sure about the implications on performance... but this will
certainly keep your data safe on that remote location.
