It would be even much faster if you (Thomas?) setup a git server. It is as easy as "touch git-daemon-export-ok" in the GIT repository and launching "git-daemon /path/to/parent/of/git/repo" at boot time, as shown by Chris Double at

http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2007/09/how-to-publish-git- repository.html

Then the "git://" protocol can be used, which makes intelligent decisions on what needs to be transferred.

Thanks, I will look into it. I need to talk to our admin anyway. / Thomas -- My shadow / Change is coming. / Now is my time. / Listen to my muscle memory. / Contemplate what I've been clinging to. / Forty-six and two ahead of me.
