Git is clearly awesome and a variety of clients are both available and easy to install for all platforms.
However it's a bit of a challenge to get a Git server up and running for teams.
I'm a bit surprised that there is not yet an easily deploy-able Java-Git app server or webapp. It looks like Gitosis, Gitolite, etc. are some options running on other stacks, but if you’re already running a Java stack it would be easiest to just deploy a Java servlet or webapp.
Along these lines I was wondering how one would approach writing a Java ‘Git Server’ webapp?
How far could JGit get you for a simple implementation? What would one need to do to package JGit as a web app to be able to push/pull to it and from it as well as easily create new repos?

Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving Git repositories. It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.
The doPost() method in servlets is used to process the HTTP POST requests. It is used to submit the data from the browser to the server for processing. The data submitted with POST method type is sent in the message body so it is secure and cannot be seen in the URL.
SCM-Manager is a Git-Server written in Java and uses JGit.
