You cannot make it work. Git by design allow pushing only through
authenticated protocols. You can push via ssh+git:// and local,
you can push via http(s):// but you have to configure WebDAV, perhaps in the
future you would be able to push via ftp(s)://. The git:// and rsync://
protocols are read-only: you can fetch (pull) but you can't push.

P.S. Please send reply also to git mailing list
