[ in this case, I'd prefer using rsync ]
Well, this does not the same as being able to really use git to push.
First, you have no guarantee that the repository will be consistent
during the push. I belive the git repository format is relatively safe
with this regard since git doesn't rewrite data in-place, so the worst
that can happen is probably that someone gets a reference to a
not-yet-uploaded object.
But the real advantage of using the version control system to upload
is to avoid the case of
$ cd /path/to/dumb/project
$ rsync ./ path:to/very/important/project/
since rsync/scp are not designed to look at the content of the
destination before overriding it. Using git, I believe such
miss-manipulation could lead to having irrelevant data in a
repository, but not to data-loss.
