I'm behind a firewall that doesn't allow it. Luckily, the firewall has some holes to allow me ssh access to a few external machines. It looks like I can use a "git:" url on a box outside the firewall, then clone that to inside Sony with a "git+ssh:" url.
I'll do that, unless someone else has a better suggestion. Pushes and pulls will be two steps each, but at least it works. -- Tim
