The problem with that is that you can’t push to it. Unless you’re working with a bare repo Git will accept your pushes but it won’t commit them. Or, that’s my understanding of it. Yes, you could just keep re-uploading, and over-writing the repo on the server but that seems a crude work-around.

This flowchart works for git too. If you copy a git repo up to your server, you can immediately clone it:

scp -r my-git-project me@example.com:
cd /tmp
git clone http://example.com/my-git-project/.git

I don’t see how that’s any harder than Darcs…?
