Hi, list!

I want to create a private GIT repo (without working copy) on a
machine in external data-center. While I do not actually believe that
it is possible that someone who has physical access to a machine would
be interested in peeking into my repo, I'd like to play safe and to
have this issue covered.

Please advise what is the best way to do it. Are there any existing
solutions?

Potential solution to store arbitrary data in a safe manner:

mkdir remote_git_raw remote_git
sshfs <data-center>:<path @ datacenter> $PWD/remote_git_raw
encfs $PWD/remote_git_raw $PWD/remote_git

This will lock your data in a remote encfs volume.  (Uses FUSE)

Not quite sure about the implications on performance... but this will
certainly keep your data safe on that remote location.
