I'm neither a capistrano or a git expert, but I have used the combination on at 
least a dozen projects, some of which involved deploys into DMZs or through 
proxies.
I did a quick search through my deploy.rb files and noticed the following:

1. Some used scm :git with deploy_via :copy to deploy into a DMZ
2. Some used scm :none with :copy
3. Some used scm_passphrase with git   URLs

Capistrano supports local git repositories. Perhaps there's value in separating 
the repo you deploy from and github?

I hope that you get to the bottom of this and we can all learn something from 
it.
