Instead of a central repository you could simply use Git to email patches to
one another. git-send-email is helpful there, as is git-am for pulling in
patches in this form.

And it doesn't take much of a connection to run simple http and have your
parters pull from you.

It can be done with gitosis and a single SSH account dedicated to this  
purpose.
That is likely the minimum you need, or you can use WebDAV. WebDAV  
works VERY slowly
compared to the SSH mechanism. I've been much happier with gitosis for  
hosting privately.
