You can create git bundles, which is a way to synchronize repositories 
without using a direct network connection.  A bundle is simply a single 
file with the needed data to perform repository updates.

So you could use bundles, and encrypt them with the encryption tool of 
your choice before storing them on a USB stick for example.
