As git is distributed scm you can use your described setup. But personally I prefer to have central bare repository. You could use github for this ot any other hosted solution or your personal git server. There I setup permissions for users (other repository clones). E.g. developer (you) can read and write to repository. Test user (test.domain.com) has read only access. Production user (domain.com) has read only access (and restricted to access "release-*" branches only sometimes on paranoid configurations). Having such setup you are able to checkout any branch on your test domain and on the production when you need. Also you are know exactly what branch you are testing or deploying. You can switch to test or production branch on your development repository at any time and fix it if you need. And your development branch(es) will not be touched by those modifications.
