I'm not at all resistant to using ssh, but on some servers, particularly
on a number of shared hosts out there, all kinds of shell are disabled,
including ssh, so that wouldn't work.

With cgi, you could have a global ui allowing the creation of a new
repository, but I understand the argument stated in this thread that
this is not desirable for cross-compatibility.
