You do want SSH: Git itself doesn't do encryption, so implementing access control over plain git:// would be insecure. And Git prefered to delegate access control to well established solution such as SSH.

I'd recommand having a second look at gitosis, or its variant gitolite, which provide a configuration file mostly like what you expect :
