I think bundles or email or both is likely to be the correct solution, but 
you should know that you don't need a shared server if you each have a 
server the other can read from. Each of you sets up a public repository 
with the same basic history, and you each have local clones of your public 
repository, and you pull from the other into your local clone and 
(assuming you want to accept the other's changes) you do the merge and 
push to your own public server.

In fact, having a shared server is vaguely discouraged, since it means 
there's a repository that's no single individual's responsibility; it's 
just that it's often the case that the existing social structure is based 
on a group of co-maintainers of a single series.
