I do not use symlinks but got it all working by the following steps.
The SSH key for the user to push as must be in the ~/.ssh directory for
the www-data user. In Debian this is /var/www/.ssh and as such it's
exposed to the whole wide world, not the best thing. Make sure that you
have a rule to forbid access to this directory in you apache config[1].
Make sure to add the SSH fingerprint for the server(s) you want to push
to, it require at least one attempt as the user www-data (or you can copy
it to knownhosts - I choose to use "$ su - www-data" to see all errors and
stuff.
And lastly, www-data must own all files, INCLUDING the files in .git
directory.
[1] In /etc/apache2/sites-available/default add this for the vhost.
<Directory /var/www/.ssh>
Order allow,deny
deny from all
</Directory>
