I want to put a git repo on a server where I have ssh access but failed to compile git (AIX 5.1, has libz.a but no .so nor headers; compiling prerequisite zlib failed, probably due to a botched build environment).

As far as I can see my only option for a private repo is using rsync over ssh.

Alas, the rsync:// transport of git seems to imply an rsync daemon connection.

How can I specify rsync over ssh as the git transport?

Alternatively, can I maybe compile the bits that git over ssh needs on the server side without zlib?
