Well, we could try to support the git protocol over port 80..

IOW, it's probably easier to try to get people to use

	git clone git://some.host:80/project

and just run git-daemon on port 80, than it is to try to set of magic cgi 
scripts etc.

Doing that with virtual hosts etc should be pretty trivial. Much more so 
than trying to make a git-cgi script.

And yes, I do realize that in theory you can have http-aware firewalls 
that expect to see the normal http sequences in the first few packets in 
order to pass things through, but I seriously doubt it's very common.
