I guess it might exceed your costs, but you could use a small EC2
instance backed by an EBS volume. The instance would have git
installed.

When you need to push, fire up the instance, push to git running on
that instance, then shutdown the instance and snapshot the EBS volume
to S3.

Hmm, maybe that's over-engineered. :-)
