With Apache, you can add the following to your httpd.conf file, or to an .htaccess file within your document root:

    <DirectoryMatch "^\.git">
	Order allow,deny
	Deny from all
    </DirectoryMatch>
    <FilesMatch "^\.gitignore">
	Order allow,deny
	Deny from all
    </FilesMatch>

to prevent web access to the respository.
