I don't think there is anything that needs changing with the git daemon

I did get the same error as you originally, but this was due to SSH
failing to setup the tunnel connection (checking the logs showed that I
had got the hostname in the forward wrong).

Ok, so were you doing something like this:

% git clone git://localhost:5700/project

etc.?  and not using the ssh protocol, like this:

% git clone ssh://...

I think pure port forwarding won't support git+ssh. For that you need
the proxycommand approach I mentioned. Actually, I think there's a
more elegant approach just saying

Host fooproxied
    ProxyCommand ssh -q -a foo.yourdomain nc -q0 %h 22
