I think if you just setup SSH a certain way you can then use git or sftp for access:

        Match User gituser
            ChrootDirectory /srv/git_chroot
            ForceCommand internal-sftp
            AllowTcpForwarding no
            X11Forwarding no
            PermitTTY no

But tbh sending patches is fun and easy! After you force yourself to do it a few times you might even prefer it to push/pull
