You should check out bananajour, it sounds like it might fight the bill quite nicely:

http://github.com/toolmantim/bananajour

Written by Tim Lucas, and hacked on by a bunch of us at the Gold Coast, Australia Railscamp in May: http://railscamps.com/

The idea is that for each repo you want to publish, bananajour creates and looks after a locally stored remote, that you push to ("git push banana master") to publish your work over bonjour.

There's also a web interface at your-machine.local:9331 which shows the other bananas that were found (via bonjour) on the network. ['9331' is for 'peel' :) ]

I'm not sure what the state of Linux support is, since most of us run OS X, but I'm pretty sure someone was working on Linux/zeroconf support.
