You'd probably have to do all processing server-side (git log, blame, merges... like in subversion, where you can merge and rename/move files remotely, IIRC). Of course, all the things which make git really useful for me (gitk, git log with all its arguments etc.) would not be available. Cheap checkouts would be made possible easily that way at the cost of higher server load and an abstraction layer over network for object access. I don't know if that sounds reasonable at all.
