I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "hashed directory structure", but I suspect that your goal is some form of virtualized hosting that allows for directory names to be dynamically constructed with a component that appears to be the user name.

Wouldn't the --interpolated-path ability of git-daemon either directly or with minor modifications directly support that?
