If your publishing repo is local like the above, then

 $ mkdir /tmp/junk && cd /tmp/junk
 $ git init; tar xf /tmp/project.tar; git add .; ... populate ... 
 $ git commit -m initial
 $ cd /else/where/to/publish
 $ git clone --bare /tmp/junk myproject.git
 $ rm -fr /tmp/junk

would be enough to get your published repository started, isn't
it?  Then wouldn't:

 $ cd $HOME
 $ git clone /else/where/to/publish/myproject.git myproject

set up your ~/myproject exactly the same way as other people who
will work with that published repository?
