Well, tunnelling the native git protocol is *exactly* what you'd want to do with some git CGI thing. So no, I don't think the actual stuff you tunnel would have any relationship, but the actual code to set up a tunnel and making it all look like some fake html sequence might be something that can be used as a base.
