For a short time, I had the same issue. We came up using "git bundle" to bundle changes and exchange them via email.

The setup was to work in two separate branches. The roaming developper started a new branch when leaving. After some work, she sent the commits on her branch as a bundle file. The origin merged the branch extracted from the developper's bundle and sent back the bundle of the changes on origin since the last merge.

No doubt that both side need to understand well the workflow of fetch/merge. Bundle files can be encrypted for better security.

Hope this helps.
