Not sure if that really applies, but consider looking at GitLab
(http://gitlab.org/ POSIX stack oriented) or Git Web Access
(http://gitweb.codeplex.com/ requires IIS).
Alternatively, you surely can roll something yourself, but it obviously
requires coding of a web-site engine which would take care of user
management, user access etc. To provide access to the user's repo, it
supposedly could spawn the Git's smart HTTP backend (after performing
authentication and authorization).
