Are there any revision control systems (git preferred) that could run on shared hosting server presumably by being launched as CGI scripts?

Could you elaborate more? Do you want to host the repository or just pull the code down? What functionality are you looking for that github.com can't provide? – Flashman May 16 '11 at 12:56
I don't want to host it on github, because I want a repository for personal / private files. I want to host a repository on my server with shared hosting-- that means Ihave no terminal access. – Eric Pruitt May 17 '11 at 15:22

According to its man page git-http-backend is "a simple CGI program to serve the contents of a Git repository to Git clients accessing the repository over http:// and https:// protocols".

That requires me to install git. Shared hosting means no command line access, just SFTP and a web control panel. I need something that I can upload as CGI scripts. – Eric Pruitt May 17 '11 at 15:23
You could try to upload git-http-backend binary but you need to find file compiled for your hosting OS. – AlexD May 17 '11 at 17:33
