I plan to do this on LAN using bonjour service discovery

I wonder why so much emphasis for this? It seems like a nifty
convenience bit, but I don't think making this idea too central is any
good. What if you get a second office at the other end of the world?
What if part of your team is working on a deployment at customer site?
What if part of your team works from home over a VPN?  What if your
team is collaborating over the internet on an open project?  What if...?

That said, it sounds like a great idea to have let's say a post-commit
hook that will start an upload job:

	extbranch="$(whoami)/$(git symbolic-ref HEAD | sed 's#refs/heads/##')"

Thanks to sitaram, now I know that probably the best way is:

  	extbranch="$(whoami)/$(git describe --contains --all HEAD)"
	
(But now you *really* need to check if HEAD is a heads ref first or you
will push out to something totally bogus.)

P.S.: Heh, I would never guess what that git describe command already
does, talk about intuitiveness. ;-) (Of course, when you know exactly
what the switches do, it totally makes sense.)
