+Git over ssh provides authentication and repo-level authorisation as
+repositories can be made user- or group-writeable (see parameter
+``core.sharedRepository`` in ``git help config``). If that's too
+permissive or too restrictive for some project's needs there is a
+wrapper `gitolite <http://gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html>`_ that can
+be configured to allow access with great granularity; gitolite has a
+lot of documentation.
