Somebody needs to keep the "global cache" up to date, and that has to be
somebody who has access to cron(7) on your system, and you will be a
good candidate to do so.  So as part of the procedure to "set up one
global cache repository and forget (about it)", make a bare clone and
then set up a scheduled task to periodically "git fetch" from its
origin, and then you are pretty much done, no?
